Field Marshal George Charles Bingham, 3rd Earl of Lucan GCB (16 April 1800 – 10 November 1888), styled Lord Bingham before 1839, was a British Army officer. During the Great Famine in the late 1840s he acted in a sufficiently clumsy and insensitive manner, by introducing mass evictions from villages such as Ballinrobe, that he earned the hatred of many of the local people and became known as "The Exterminator". At the Battle of Balaclava in October 1854, during the Crimean War, Lucan, as commander of the cavalry division, received an order from the Army Commander, Lord Raglan, and in turn ordered the Light division commander, the Earl of Cardigan, to lead the fateful Charge of the Light Brigade leading to some 278 British casualities.
