This review is from: Eyewitness in the Crimea: The Crimean War Letters of Lieutenant Colonel George Frederick Dallas (Hardcover)
This volume is based on letters written back home from the period of time following Balaclava Battle of 1854. You get a quick idea of the rampant illness and boredom of life of being on the front lines in a police action of keeping an eye on the Russians in Turkey.
