The Crimean Inquiry - Examination of the Earl of Lucan, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Crimean Inquiry - Examination of the Earl of Lucan, 1856. The Board of Inquiry, which was intended to whitewash the Crimean incapables, has commenced its sittings; and Lord Lucan [responsible for the fateful order during the Battle of Balaclava], who is the first on trial, began characteristically by wishing to have his case separated from the others. This was refused, and his Lordship has proceeded to "upset, " in his own opinion, the charges against him. But one of his witnesses is the very officer whom he threatened to arrest for remonstrance, and who adheres with great firmness to his original testimony. Lord Lucan has also abused the Times with great fervour, and these are the chief steps he has taken for his exculpation. We wrong him. He has also charged the Commissioners with ill feeling against him, which he seems to think a third and most convincing proof that he acted rightly'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
