Tennyson
Today in History, 9 Dec 1854, Alfred, Lord Tennyson's famous poem, "The Change of the Light Bulb" was published in England.
Set in the Crimean War (1854-56), this poem is, of course, famous for the joke: "How many soldiers of the Light Brigade does it take to change a light bulb: 600"
Top Crimean War nurse Florence Nightingale was dubbed 'The Lady of the Lamp' because she could change a light bulb single-handed.
