Dave,

as ever a veritable mine of info

Just back from the medicine man with chest infection, and a certain shortness of breathe. This weekend will find me warmly wrapped up I am afraid, and staying put this time

Regards,

Bob

Of course, I am probably looking in the wrong place - but a Russian Account of Balaclava might make more entertaining reading

Bob, apart from the website I pointed you to in my previous reply you might also find these books interesting.

Hodasevich. Cpt. R, ' A Voice from within the Walls of Sebastopol' pub John Murray, London 1856

Seaton. Albert, 'The Crimean War a Russian Chronicle' pub Batsford Ltd, London 1977

Baddely. J.F., 'The Russian Conquest of the Caucasus' pub London 1908

Curtiss. J.S., 'The Russian Army under Nicholas 1st 1825-1855' pub Durham 1965

Lincoln. W. Bruce, 'Nicholas 1st Emperor and Autocrat of all The Russias' pub Allen Lane, 1978
