In Stapenhill cemetery, Burton upon Trent, we have TWO survivors of the Charge of the Light Brigade - both Yorkshiremen who settled in Burton to forge 2nd careers after leaving the army.

The #CrimeanWar ended 170 years ago today. During the conflict soldiers died in appalling conditions, but the treatment of enemy prisoners was surprisingly humane. 🔓 This recent article is free for 7 days www.historytoday.com/archive/feat...

For #BlackandWhiteWednesday we have this lovely photograph of a group of officers of the 41st Regiment of Foot, later the Welsh Regiment. The pic, taken in the Crimea in 1856, also features one of the very first regimental goats. #CrimeanWar #history #militaryhistory #museum #archive #collection

And we are off! With all of our welcomes now concluded we have moved on to our first keynote with Prof Lynn MacKay (Brandon) whose lecture discusses #CrimeanWar #milwelfhist More to follow.

A brilliant paper from Alexander Sutherland of @kcllnucsc.bsky.social @warstudieskcl.bsky.social A very balanced presentation, discussing the pro- and anti-Azov cohorts of historians #CrimeanWar

While the Russians did make a determined effort to try and counter the British Flying Squadron in thr Sea of #Azov, with 50,000 soldiers deployed along the coast, the overall cost in lost animals, stores and buildings was immense #CrimeanWar

The Sea of #Azov campaign saw the birth of both the 19c gunboat and more inventive flating batteries. All of which were used to attack scores of coastal settlements #CrimeanWar

I always find this gravestone for John Duggan, in St Mary's Drogheda, incredibly moving. One of the '600' who rode into the 'Valley of Death' as a 17th Lancer #otd 1854, he survived - but only just. John fought throughout #CrimeanWar & ended his days as Sexton of St Mary's, dying in 1881, aged 67.
