Légende

Tchorgoun, on the Tchornaya, 1856. Village on the Chorna river, Crimea. 'A few days previously to the 25th October, General Liprandi assembled a large force near the villages of Tchorgouna and Kamara, where it was in some measure screened from view by a range of hills. The presence of this force was no secret in the English Camp; and, as it threatened to interrupt the communications between the harbour and the lines encompassing Sebastopol, Lord Raglan had ordered redoubts to be thrown up on the heights which run across the plain, at the bottom of which the town of Balaclava is situated'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
