"Excerpt: . CHAPTER XXXII. A RETROSPECT. Thus by main force, strength matched against strength, " in plain and even shock of battle," France and England had pushed Russia from her stronghold. Such has been the course of the campaign, so peculiar and exceptional, that it is not easy to say what military lessons have been derived from its incidents, or what advance in soldiership has been gained by our army, beyond the experience of encamping in the field in presence of an enemy. But from our present stand-point of an appreciable result we may at least survey comprehensively and clearly the events of the campaign, and trace with something like certainty the circumstances which produced them. The questions of the merits of the policy pursued up to the time of the departure from Varna, and the amount of neglect attributable to the Government in allowing the expedition to depart with such slender preparation, are such as persons conversant with public business at home are most competent to decide. Admitting that the state of public feeling in the summer of 1854 rendered some enterprise necessary, and that the capture of Sebastopol, as solving one of the principal problems of the war, was an object of first-rate importance, we may, by pursuing the course of affairs from the commencement of the expedition to its crisis, compare the means with which the attempt was made with the chances of success. No objections have been made to the conduct of affairs up to the battle of the Alma. Some critics have objected to the tactics of the Allies on that occasion. Certainly nothing could well be simpler or less scientific than the plan of attack ; but the moral effect produced on the Russians by the gallantry of the advance, preventing, as it probably did, the defence of either the Katcha or."

Condition: New. SB,339pp,lustrations throughout, 2002 N&MP Reprint of 1855 Original EditionPublished Price £14.95 While I was delivering the order, a round shot passed through my horse, close to the saddle, and rolled us over; while on the ground another canon shot passed through him. A sergeant of artillery ran to extricate me…; he had just lifted from under the horse, and I was in the act of steadying myself on his shoulder, when a shot carried off his thigh and he fell back on me.This is a scene describes a narrow escape for Hamley during the bloody battle of Inkerman.The author of this remarkable book, a Gunner officer, served on the Artillery Staff, first as Adjutant to the First Division field artillery and then as ADC to the Commander Royal Artillery throughout the siege of Sevastopol, and as such he was well placed to make this record of the campaign. As he says in the introduction it was not his intention to indulge in fanciful rhetoric but to give a âround, unvarnished tale.â All was written in camp when he was off duty, in a tent or in a hut, and his descriptions of the fighting and the aftermath paint a grim and often gruesome picture. Disease and sickness ravaged the army; in December 1854 and January 1855 the sick returns amounted to 14,000. The pictures he paints, in his matter-of-fact narrative, reflect some appalling sights of the dead and dying on the battlefields. He takes us through the Alma, Inkerman, Balaklava to the fall of Sevastopol in September 1855 which was the prelude to the peace talks a few months later. The siege of Sevastopol lasted a year and cost the British some 11,000 casualties, the French 12,000 and the Russians 50,000. There are some very good illustrations by the author himself. For the students of this dreadfully mishandled war (administration, logistics and medical) this book will be compulsive reading.
