To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Their gallantry availed them nothing. The whole Russian force was before them. A body of Russian cavalry interposed to cut off their retreat across the valley, and, assailed on every side by every arm of the ser- vice, and their ranks utterly broken, they were compelled to fight their way back, and to regain their position under the same artillery fire that had crashed into their advance. Singly, or in twos or threes, these gallant horsemen returned, some on foot, many woundfed, some supporting... a stricken comrade. The same fire that had shattered their ranks had also reached the Heavy Cavalry, now rallied on the slope behind, who also suffered se- verely. The English loss would have been greater but for the timely charge of a body of French cavalry, which, descending from the plateau, advanced up the Russian heights, where they silenced a destructive battery." 1 Blackwood's Magazine.
THE CRIMEAN WAR. 1 43 Such is the story in the words of a staff officer who wrote his narrative a few hours after the battle.
