14 October 1853: At the request of the Ottomans, the British and French fleets left Besika Bay and transited the Dardanelles as the Ottoman army prepared to engage Russian forces occupying Wallachia. The Austrian army's mobilisation against Russia continued. #CrimeanWar
The 'Sebastopol Cannon' captured from the Russians at the Battle of Sebastopol in 1855 & installed in #Retford in 1858 as a memorial to local men who had fought in the #CrimeanWar . (It narrowly escaped being smelted down for its metal in WW2.)

Recent acquisition of an LNWR group photo includes this chap, who wears a #CrimeanWar medal with four clasps (Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman, Sevastopol) and the Medaille Militaire. I wonder who he was? Must have had some stories to tell.
