Heaving Guns, at Balaclava, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Heaving Guns, at Balaclava, 1854. Crimean War. British soldiers in the Crimea, engaged in the...heaving of the siege train...we must remember that the work is not half done when the guns and ammunition have been landed. After that there are still several miles of a rough hilly road to travel, and that, too, with very imperfect means of transit. It may easily be conceived, therefore, that the conveyance of 150 or 200 large guns, with the supplies of powder, shell-cases, and enormous round-shot required tor a week's operations, must have taken a long time. If we add to all these the gabions, fascines, and sand-bags, for the trenching parties, and the stores for daily consumption, some notion may be formed of the enormous amount of preliminary work before a gun can be fired'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
