The bravery of the Brits on that day is surpassable because such military blunders have been repeated. Correct me if I'm wrong but cowardice in the British Army in those days would get you shot?

While you're at it, you might as well praise the Persians' unsurpassable bravery for being forced to charge at well-positioned, heavily armored Greeks at the narrow pass of Thermopylae.
