The Siege of Sebastopol - Working Party of Highlanders and Sailors in the 21-Gun Battery, 1854. Creator: Unknown
The Siege of Sebastopol - Working Party of Highlanders and Sailors in the 21-Gun Battery, 1854. Crimean War....the French...opened heavily on the Quarantine Battery, and did serious damage there: their guns were worked by sailors; but, as ill-luck would have it, their magazine was again blown up, and their fire slackened in consequence...Our fire was kept up with such spirit during the day, that that of the Russian slackened considerably. Mortar batteries, which we had set to work were very much the cause of this advantage. At the same time every means were employed to fire the town. Rockets were sent in which caused a considerable smoke, but no general outbreak of flame; and it soon became apparent that all means to destroy the place by fire would be unavailing, so proof were the stone-built houses against burning projectiles'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
