Camp of the English Light Division, at Varna, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Camp of the English Light Division, at Varna, 1854. Troops camped near the port of Varna - once Turkish and later Bulgarian - on the Black Sea, prior to departing to fight in the Crimean War. The Sketch represents the Camp of the English Light Division, situated on a hill - well selected, not only for the manoeuvres of the troops, but also for its dry and healthy position: it is about eight miles from the town...The commissariat department appears to be rather scant in its supplies; but good water is in abundance. The 8th Hussars and 17th Lancers are six miles in advance, on their way to Silistria. The troops on guard march daily five or six miles out, just (as they themselves say) to get them into trim for a little longer day's work when they approaoh the Russians; their only fear being that the enemy will not so quietly wait, but anticipate their approach, and take themselves off'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
