To contemporaries it was 'The Great War with Russia' - fought not only in the Black Sea and the Crimea but in the Baltic the Arctic the Pacific and the Caucasus. Ironically Britain's allies were France her traditional enemy ably commanded (from home) by Napoleon III himself and the Muslim Ottoman Empire widely seen as an infidel corrupt power. It was the first of the 'modern' wars using rifles artillery trench systems steam battleships telegraph and railways; yet the British soldiers wore their old highly coloured uniforms and took part in their last cavalry charge in Europe. There were over 650 000 casualties.
Britain was unable fully to deploy her greatest strength her Navy while her Army was led by incompetent aristocrats. The views of ordinary soldiers about Raglan Cardigan and Lucan make painful reading.
