OjC PREFACE. The following narrative of Five Months Life in the Trenches before Sebastopol was written by the late Col. Keynell Pack, from notes taken by him at the time. Written with no attempt to imitate the practised skill of the historian, or to describe with the facile pen of the experienced newspaper correspondent, it is a soldiers plain narrative of a soldiers experience when engaged, for many weeks, in the active duties of camp and trench life besieging the chief seaport of the enemy. This volume would have appeared immediately after the Crimean campaign, but as it contains strong comments on the capacity and qualifications of certain oflficers, its publication was deferred till a fitting time arrived for its issue.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a memoir from the Crimean War, penned by Colonel Reynell Pack based on notes taken during his service. Written without the hindsight or florid language of a seasoned journalist, it offers an unvarnished soldier's perspective of the realities of war. Beginning with the declaration of war in 1854, the book follows Pack and his men through their first taste of combat at the bombardment of Sevastopol, to the disastrous Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava. Pack's honest portrayal of the suffering and hardship endured by the troops, coupled with his vivid descriptions of the fierce fighting, provides a poignant insight into the horrors of war. The author also doesn't shy away from criticizing the ineptitude of the military command at the time, offering a valuable perspective on the lessons learned from this conflict.
