| Description: |
A description of the battle of Inkerman, one of the great campaigns of the British Empire. Fought on the 5th November 1854, Inkerman was the third major engagement of the Crimean War after the battles of the Alma and Balaclava. Photographs of the battlefield as it is today are included. |
| Synopsis: |
Osprey's study of the Battle of Inkerman (1854), which was part of the Crimean War (1853-1856). On 5 November 1854 the Russians marched out of the besieged city of Sevastopol to throw off the allied British and French forces by mounting a joint attack with their troops from outside the city. Despite outnumbering their enemies five to one the Russians failed to achieve victory in what looked to be almost a foregone conclusion. The third major action of the Crimean War (following Alma and Balaclava), the battle fought in heavy fog at Inkerman proved to be a testament to the skill and initiative of the individual men and officers of the British Army of the day. |
