Sandbag Battery defended by the Guards - sketched on the morning of the Battle of Inkerman, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Sandbag Battery defended by the Guards - sketched on the morning of the Battle of Inkerman, 1854. Crimean War:..two 18-pounders which had been mounted on Sandbag battery were taken away, and the battery left without guns...The Russians...now assailed this redoubt...More than half of the Guards who entered action fell here; but around them lie heaps of the enemy. About this redoubt alone not less than 1500 Russian corpses have been counted. The killed were literally heaped one upon another, and most were shot through the head....After a rigid struggle against the superior number of the enemy, who was bringing up fresh battalions every instant, a welcome sight offered itself to our brave men. On the crest of the hill dashed the well-known red garments of the Zouaves...The Russians, wearied already at the deadly struggle they had sustained with our little band, drew back...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
