To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If he could not attempt a second bombardment of the beleaguered fortress, he was nevertheless enforced to maintain intact the trenches already formed, as a basis for future operations when better times should arrive nay, as a precaution necessary for the very existence of his army. His responsi- bilities became day by day greater as his effective means became less. An enumeration, made shortly after the battle of Inkermaun, revealed the terrible nature of the visitation to which the officers ha...d been subjected ; for it was found that, during the few weeks of warfare elapsed, 101 officers had been killed in action, 207 wounded, and 38 struck down by disease and fatigue. The embarrassment such losses occasion to a military commander, none but himself can know. Lord Raglan was created field-marshal immediately after the news of the battle of Inkermann reached England ; the British government, too, made a very unusual departure from routine proceedings, by awarding ensigncies and cornetcies to some of the sergeants engaged in that wonderful ' soldiers' battle, ' and small annuities and gratuities to some of the non-commissioned officers and privates;* * ' Horse Guards, December 9.
