in The Charge Of The Light Brigade, who asked "Was there a man dismayed?" and why?

Answer 1

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder's:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

I believe Tennyson Asked this question to demonstrate the fearlessness of the men charging into a futile and disasterous mission in which they faced almost certain death. In fact, out of the 673 calvarymen involved over 200 were killed.

Answer 2

Were they worried? No, they were to attack without worrying about if they were right or wrong, whether they would live or die. Just do it.
