How did the soldiers in "The Charge of the Light Brigade" respond to the orders given?

The soldiers of the Light Brigade have been given the suicidal order to charge the Russian guns. They do so without a moment's hesitation. Why? Because "Theirs is not to reason why, / Theirs is but to do or die." In other words, as humble soldiers, it's not their job to question their superiors' orders. If their commanding officers give them the order to charge, even if it's completely suicidal, then they charge. It's as simple as that. The common soldiery isn't there to question orders but to "do or die," i.e. do their duty or die trying.
So the brave men of the Light Brigade make their "wild charge" towards the Russian artillery; all six hundred of them riding straight into the "valley of Death."
