Camp of Tchourouk-Sou, on the Black Sea, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Camp of Tchourouk-Sou, on the Black Sea, 1854. Crimean War: Turkish military camp. Tchourouk-Sou...was, at the period the Sketch was taken, the encampment of Selim Pacha. He lost the battle of the 29th July, and recently arrived at Constantinople, in great disgrace. He harangued the passengers in the Trebizond boat in extenuation of his failure. He said, "the Russians attacked my army; but it was not my fault, for I was asleep in the village twenty miles off, and of course could not prevent them. I came up with a reinforcement, but could do nothing, for we had forgotten our cartridges. The Russians took all our tents, but they were so rotten that they were of no use; and as for the fifteen pieces of cannon that were lost, a will pay for them out of my own pocket". From "Illustrated London News", 1854
