Sir George Bell is chiefly known for his 'gossiping and amusing' (ODNB) Rough Notes by an Old Soldier, which recounts a military career which began in the Peninsula War and ended in the Crimea, by way of the 1st Anglo-Burmese War and the Canadian rebellion of 1837-8. Bell's Crimean journals include an eye-witness account of the Charge of the Light Brigade, 25 October 1854: 'Memorable day. The story of this day will be told by a thousand tongues & in many languages ... the brigade went madly forward at the charge, dashed in amongst the Cossacks and cut them down right and left, but they had gone too far and now the Russian field Batteries opened on them with distinctive power ... Trumpets sounded the retreat and our cavalry fell back in a gallop the Cossacks pursued & strange to say the russians unmindful of their own people poured volleys of shot & shell into both parties until few were left to return to their respective lines. It was a terrible slaughter'. His Crimean letters include vivid accounts of the battles of the Alma and Inkerman. View on Christie's.com
