The #CrimeanWar ended 170 years ago today.
During the conflict soldiers died in appalling conditions, but the treatment of enemy prisoners was surprisingly humane.

For #BlackandWhiteWednesday we have this lovely photograph of a group of officers of the 41st Regiment of Foot, later the Welsh Regiment. The pic, taken in the Crimea in 1856, also features one of the very first regimental goats.

The Sea of #Azov campaign saw the birth of both the 19c gunboat and more inventive flating batteries. All of which were used to attack scores of coastal settlements #CrimeanWar

I always find this gravestone for John Duggan, in St Mary's Drogheda, incredibly moving. One of the '600' who rode into the 'Valley of Death' as a 17th Lancer #otd 1854, he survived - but only just. John fought throughout #CrimeanWar & ended his days as Sexton of St Mary's, dying in 1881, aged 67.
