Camp of General Sir De Lacy Evans, upon the Heights of Sebastopol, 1854. Crimean War. '...the enemy attempted a reconnoissance, on a larger scale than usual, towards our right. A party of 300 of them crawling up the ravine below Gordon's extreme right battery, surprised an outlying picket of the 47th, which fell back, leaving its packs and blankets in a ruined house. The Russians advanced until they were checked by a party of the 2nd battalion of Rifles, which opened on them from the redoubt. A picket of the 47th at the same time opposed them from the opposite sides of the ravine. The firing now became heavier, and Sir De Lacy Evans moved the 55th and 95th Regiments to the hills on our right, whilst the Rifles, the Guards, and other regiments, from the First and Light Divisions, were moved forward, and halted behind Gordon's battery'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
