Camp of the 21st Fusiliers, on the Heights of Sebastopol, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Camp of the 21st Fusiliers, on the Heights of Sebastopol, 1854. Crimean War: British soldiers repairing uniforms, cooking, and cleaning guns. In the distance is the harbour of Sebastopol, with Royal Navy warships on the Black Sea beyond. The troops were...all in high spirits, and eager to get into the stronghold of the Russians. Though they suffered at first from want of many necessaries, and especially from the necessity of sleeping in the open air, their health was not materially altered. There were, however, sundry cases of cholera and fever; and we have to regret the loss of some valuable officers...One soldier...had a narrow escape. He was kneeling at his fire when he heard the whiz of a round shot, he threw himself backward, and this saved his life. The shot passed over his shoulder, carried off his chin-strap, and smashed his rifle, which was by him'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
Camp of the 21st Fusiliers, on the Heights of Sebastopol, 1854" is an evocative and intriguing photograph that transports us back in time to the Crimean War. The image captures a moment of quiet activity within the soldiers' encampment, with British troops busy repairing uniforms, cooking meals, and cleaning their guns. In the distance, the harbor of Sebastopol can be seen, surrounded by the tranquil waters of the Black Sea and dotted with Royal Navy warships. The scene portrayed in this photograph is one of resilience and determination, as the soldiers prepare for the impending battle against the Russians. Despite the hardships they faced, including a lack of essential supplies and the harsh conditions of sleeping in the open air, their spirits remained high. However, the camp was not without its challenges. There were cases of cholera and fever, and some valuable officers were lost. One soldier, in particular, had a close call while tending to his fire. The sound of a round shot whizzing by caused him to throw himself backward, saving his life. The shot passed over his shoulder, taking off his chin-strap and destroying his rifle in the process. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during the Crimean War, and the determination and resourcefulness that enabled them to persevere in the face of adversity. Though the creator of the image is unknown, the powerful and evocative scene speaks for itself, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history. From the pages of the "Illustrated London News" in 1854, this photograph is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the British troops during the Crimean War. It is a reminder of the human stories that lie behind the historical records, and the enduring impact of the events of that time.
