The Kuleieh Barracks, Constantinople - the Royal Artillery disembarking from "The Jason", 1854. Scene from the Crimean War, British soldiers arriving in Turkey. 'In these handsome Barracks were quartered the Scots Greys, on leaving the Himalaya...The carriages and powder-waggons are discharged first. Next were drawn out the gun-carriages; next, a couple of flat boats with decks (as the vessel could not come close up), and then the barrels are let down into their places. On the balcony of the Barracks, directly in front of the vessel, was a Turkish band playing for the gratification of their brethren in arms...The Sketch faces up the Bosphorus, in a north-westerly direction. These Barracks lie on the Bosphorus, about a mile above the Sultan's summer palace'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
