October 25 is the day the Battle of Agincourt occurred in 1415, the Battle of Balaklava (Charge of the Light Brigade) during the Crimean War in 1854, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Pacific theatre in 1944.
And let's not forget Henry V's Saint Crispin Day speech, courtesy of William Shakespeare.
Update:
As TOM notes, we can add another date to the mix of October 25...
