Légende

The Road to Sebastopol - Commissariat Waggons, Conveyances of Fascines, etc, 1854. Crimean War: equipment being moved to forward positions. Gabions are carried by mules, and camels pull a cart with smoking soldiers as passengers. 'It is fortunate that the weather hitherto has been so favourable to our operations: with the exception of a couple of cold days, during which a north-easterly wind prevailed, the atmosphere has been warm and genial; unlike the same period of last year, when the ground around Sebastopol was covered with two feet of snow. Everything, in fact, has been propitious; and there is not the slightest reason to fear that any amount of reinforcements which the Russians may send up, can in any way affect the great result to be attained'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
