The Morning after the Explosion at Inkerman Mill, 1856. Creator: Unknown

The Morning after the Explosion at Inkerman Mill, 1856. Scene from the Crimean War:..the right siege-train in front of the commissariat stores at Inkerman, as it appeared on the morning of the 16th November....it had been ascertained that the Windmill itself, which forms our main magazine in that part of the Camp, and contains some hundred and eighty tons of powder, had escaped...General Straubenzee...asked if any of the men would volunteer to mount the wall...and cover the roof with wet tarpaulins and blankets as a protection against the thickly-flying sparks and burning wood...Whilst...some half-dozen of the men were thus employed, the remainder carried water to throw upon the blankets and the bare rafters of the mill, and in little more than half an hour this vast pile of powder was as well protected from the thickly-flying sparks and rockets as it could be...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
