Review of the British-Italian Legion, at Novara, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Review of the British-Italian Legion, at Novara, 1856. This highly-efficient force is now composed of four regiments, each numbering one thousand and seventy strong; the entire nearly equipped, and fit for any service...The men are a remarkably fine body...averaging a standard of five feet eight inches. They are tractable and well disciplined, and consist of Piedmontese, Sardinians, Lombards, and men from Savoy, Parma, Modena, &c...Great praise is due to Sir James Hudson K.C.B. the British Minister at Turin, for originating the idea of the formation of the Legion, which may be augmented to an incredible extent, and in an extraordinarily short time, if required.... In the foreground is Sir James; Lieut.-Colonel Read, charged with the formation of the Legion; Lieut-Colonel Burnaby, performing the duties of Quartermaster-General; Lieuts.-Colonel Grant, De Horsey, Sir Coutts Lindsay... From "Illustrated London News", 1856
