Description

The British Army's involvement in the Crimean War of 1854-56 is often remembered only for the ill-advised "charge of the Light Brigade" during the battle of Sevastopol as memorialized in Tennyson's poem. Nevertheless; the British Army; together with the French and Turkish armies; posed a formidable threat to Russia's expansionist ambitions. This book examines the uniforms of the various branches of the British Army involved in the conflict; including general officers and staff; artillery; infantry and the most colorful branch of all - the cavalry. Numerous illustrations; including rare contemporary photographs depict the army's uniforms in vivid detail.
