The Inhabitants leaving Balaclava, by Order of Lord Raglan, 1854. Crimean War: expulsion of Greek civilians by the British Army. 'By means of an interpreter [Lord Raglan] told them that the whole of the male adult population must leave the place within three hours; women and children only might remain behind. Any man found in the town after that period would be shot...an old priest...came forward to complain to me...It was the fourth time he had been driven from his house. Once he had seen his home pillaged and ruined, in Candia; a second time in the Peloponnesian war; a third, in Stamboul [Istanbul]; and now, a fourth time, he was expelled from his house by the English soldiers. His wife and children had run away previously, he knew not where; and he...could not obtain leave to remain behind...A party of Highlanders were sent...to enforce Lord Raglan's order...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
