Lord Raglan's Head-Quarters, at Balaclava, 1854. Crimean War: view of a house at Balaclava in the Crimea, used by field marshal FitzRoy Somerset of the British Army. It was '...situated nearly half way between Sebastopol and Balaclava...[In this view,] the General's staff has accompanied him...A horse, kept constantly in readiness, is also seen near the front of the cottage; and a number of caleches and other vehicles in the yard show the bustle which prevails at head-quarters - despatches and orders arriving or departing from morning till night...every available spot is alive with soldiers in active employment...The Duke of Cambridge, looking as hale and good-humoured as ever, is asking on all sides for the quarters of the French Marshal. Presently comes along General Canrobert, looking rather haggard and careworn...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
