The answer to this question is going to depend on a few variables. The wording of the question could indicate that it is asking for the number of soldiers in the brigade and the number of soldiers that they were attacking. I don't believe that this is the question's intent. I believe that the question is asking for the number of men that made up the soldiers in this particular designated unit. If that is the case, then the variable is the source of information. Tennyson's poem states and restates that the number is 600 soldiers.
