The Advance of the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders at the Battle of Alma, 1854 by Richard Simkin The 93rd would lose an officer and 51 men at the Battle of Alma, the Russian positions on the higher ground at Kourgane Hill allowed for significant cannon fire to reign down on the troops below and as such British losses were high, despite an ultimate victory for the allies, it would take a full two days to collect the wounded from the field of battle. |
The 33rd (Duke of Wellingtons) Regiment storming the Great Redoubt at the Battle of Alma, 20th September 1854 by David Rowlands. 20 September 1854: The first battle of the Crimean War took place when the British and French attacked the Russians who held a formidable position on the steep slope above the River Alma. The 33rd was the centre regiment of the 1st Brigade, which was ordered to advance across the river and into the direction of the 'Great Redoubt', an entrenched position which the Russians had dug to form a protective earth bank. This position held as many as 16 battalions and 14 heavy guns. Marching steadily uphill, under artillery and musket fire, the 7th, 23rd and 33rd Regiments, despite losing their line formation, reached their objective and leapt into the Great Redoubt cheering as they did so. The Russian infantry were formed in a deep mass, and the two sides blazed away at each other at short range. The British carried the position most gallantly, and after a fierce struggle drove the Russians out. Three officers in succession had been shot while carrying the Colours of the 33rd. Captain Wallis described how, as the Russian gunners furiously struggled to withdraw their guns, a private of the 33rd spotted one being limbered up. Two horses were already attached, but he managed to seize the gun and bring it away. Sir George Brown, commanding the Light Division , had seen his action and ordered Colonel Blake to promote him to sergeant for his gallant conduct. The Light Division had been so mauled and disordered that a Russian counter-attack drove it back from the Great Redoubt, but the Guards and the Highland Brigade coming up at last drove the enemy from the battlefield. The 33rd suffered more casualties than any other British regiment engaged. Colonel Blake's horse was wounded in three places. |
All that was Left of Them by Richard Caton Woodville. The Light Brigade had 195 mounted survivors, leaving 113 dead and 134 wounded with 231 unhorsed men. After the charge of the Light Brigade, the Roll is shown being carried out. |

Sebastopol by Richard Caton Woodville. Royal Navy guns taken from their ships and used at Sebastopol. By mid-October 1854, the Allies had some 120 guns ready to use against Sevastopol while the defending Russians had over 300 guns to defend against attacking infantry. The Russians opened the artillery barrage on the 17th of October 1854 and destroyed the French magazine, which put their guns out of action. But the British guns began to fire and quickly blew the magazines in the Malakoff redoubt, killing Admiral Kornilov, and silencing most of the Russian guns, weakening the Sebastopol defences and providing an excellent chance for a British and French assault on the City of Sebastopol, which was not taken. |
