Présentation de l'éditeur
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.
