Lord Raglan and General Canrobert visiting the French Outposts opposite Sebastopol, 1854. Crimean War. 'General Canrobert...is looking at Sebastopol through his telescope...In the distance...may be indistinctly seen a redoubt which the Zouaves are making...The white cliff on the right...is the part of Sebastopol which the French are to attack...Lord Raglan and General Canrobert had made the last summonses to Sebastopol to yield, so as to prevent the effusion of blood. A messenger had also been sent, with a flag of truce, to the commander of the fortress, with the proposition to send away the women, children, old men, and sick, and to hoist a flag on the hospital, in order that it might be spared. The Allied Commanders had resolved to respect the town itself, but to bombard the forts and batteries...the Allies, who occupied the heights, could see the inhabitants walking about'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
