Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1854 the British Army was committed to its first major war, namely the Crimean War (1853-1856), against a European power since 1815. The expeditionary force, or 'Army of the East', was despatched to Turkey nominally to support the Ottoman Empire in its war with Russia; but in reality to check, in alliance with France and later Sardinia, Russian ambitions for an outlet to the Mediterranean. Despite many failures in the conduct of operations and administration, the war was won in two years and Russian designs on the Balkans and Levant were thwarted for two decades.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: On 25 October 1854, during the Crimean War, there took place probably the most memorable episode in the story of the British Army - the Charge of the Light Brigade. Ever since, when people argue over the cause of the disaster, one name recurs: that of Captain Louis Edward Nolan. What could he have possibly been thinking as he delivered the order which set the Light Brigade charging in the wrong direction? Unfortunately, Nolan was killed minutes later and therefore in no position to explain himself, but now, for the first time, with the publication in full of his campaign journal, everyone can discover what, in the previous few weeks, he had actually been thinking.
