The British Army of the Crimea (Men-at-Arms)

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. 2” 1 ‚»oC4KfÀ ́Ú úl⁄ 2 ÕŠŸ«ÚDX_3 ̊š/y 3 −fiÒ Þæ Œ‰“XyØóýô 4 ¿å âíÖ“g:R¢(š1W 5 †m¦$ ̊⁄μx¡ÊZeTM‘ ̃ ̊ 6 œæ7øæî1ÿÒ¤ ̧K41⁄4œ× 7 b?.w’R'm6zé ̇ëAd... 8 ÒÑ'” ̨` ̊¶”‹tLŸ 9 ÍØU©V/xk5 10 —?;μ *Ti$suóÿS 11 ké×fi ̊1⁄2ÆÑö‡ÿÂG 12 Îô±V3 ̨–Š4¤ ̆"fiFƒ 13 I•Ð¡ÝTM‹ˆqŠ€Yƒıù 14 =2ð$:ÿ{Ł ÇWfiýÍ 15 >û ̄‹B>':&zàμ1⁄4−á 16 w ßØ«HJÓ($Å3⁄4®žp¬ 17 tÖ¡ùToø8æ ̇õ_©Ž 18 P-ìØ3 _nw._!e¡k 19 dAÙoÐŁ# 20 hàNó2TBIŽ+õÙ/4á, 21 ANL1a_Æ€# ̃ü:”!μá 22 •†"gñŒK×2J2μŸWP 23 ⁄&‡tsqAX ÓÙÅÃfŁ 24 Ë×ÓÀ2–cÄ ̄=[$&æ+5 25 ×{FTMïˇ°ÏážÀfiflh?¬ 26 àqü=à¡å•Ï® ̋ 27 û¬ÇxÙY5ÖÌiŸŠZ8& 28 ¿X"œúlÇŸOáTàDå 29 30 >/B ́Kñ1⁄2 ̊ê\Øúù8ı# 31 u ”fŽ=·ËíøxqMÛ 3⁄4w 46 é>ý°8~ŠÉU ́2 47 TM%J{¿ÌÚeü' ̆Vïêmâ 48 9 ̈Ô ̋égaõÎâTúÇ3ë% 49 a^¶i'YÖ’ýC Ù‘—Gž 50 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.
