Excerpt from The Great War With Russia: The Invasion of the Crimea; A Personal Retrospect of the Battles of the Alma, Balaclava, and Inkerman and of the Winter of 1854-55, &C
Forty years have elapsed since our early victories in the Crimea renewed the best traditions of the British Army. The heart of the nation beat high for a time with pride, exultation, and confidence. All the more acute was the pain caused by the suffering and failure which followed our triumphs. Our exultation was abruptly changed to anxiety and indignation. Confidence was replaced by doubt. Our pride was suddenly subjected to a heavy fall before all the world. The press stormed and the public raged! The Ministry was overthrown! Nothing was thought of but our Army in the Crimea, and when at last the south side of Sebastopol fell, our rejoicings were not by any means so enthusiastic as they would have been bad the participation of our soldiers in the assault of September 8th, which led to that great result, been crowned with success.
