Portable Pavilion Barracks for the Troops in the Crimea, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Portable Pavilion Barracks for the Troops in the Crimea, 1854. 1000 wooden huts, constructed by order of the British Government. Each hut will comfortably lodge twenty to thirty men; and such dwellings will, doubtless, prove very acceptable to our brave soldiers against the inclemency of the weather, more especially if a winter campaign outside the walls of Sebastopol be inevitable. The dimensions of each hut are 28 feet long by 16 feet wide. The men will lie feet to feet, and this will allow of a four-feet passage up the middle, in which space a stove will be placed for the warming of the building, as well, if required, to assist in the cooking of provisions...A box will also be sent with each house, containing two hammers, two gimlets, two pair of pincers, and 14 lb. of nails, in case the Sappers and Miners, who are to erect them, have not sufficient at their disposal'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
