BATTLE OF ALMA 20th September
1854.The Crimean war fought by Britain,
France and Turkey against Russia. On the 14th September a British-French
force of 26,000 men landed northwest of the Crimean peninsula. Began there
advance on the Russian naval base of Sebastopol. This force was commanded
jointly by Britain and France, with the British Commander being General
Lord raglan and the French Commander Marshal Armand Saint-Arnaud.
There advance was blocked by a Russian Force under the command of Prince
Aleksandr Menshikov at the Alma River. The British and French Forces
attacked the Russians on the Heights overlooking the Alma river, with the British
baring most of the fighting. The Russians were driven from their positions
on the Heights. The Russian Losses were 1200 Killed and more than
4,000 captured. The Allied losses were 3,000 British and 1,000
French casualties. Soon after the Fighting the French Commander died
of Cholera and the French Command passed to General Francois Canrobert.
Grenadier Guards at Alma
Battalions of the 3 regiments of Guards, under General Bentinck, formed a
brigade in the First or Duke of Cambridge's Division. At the Alma, the
Guards advanced in support of the Light Division in the attack on the
Kourgané height on the left, and contributed largely to the victory by
driving the Vladimir regiment from its earthworks on the hill. During all
the labours of the sege, the trench work, and the horrors of the winter,
the Grenadiers took their part and, on October 18th 1854, had the
misfortune to lose their commanding officer, Colonel Hood, who was struck
by a round shot as he watched their work.
