1st Bn Rifle Brigade Victoria Cross action four clasp Crimea medal. A scarce example, which is accompanied by a photocopy of an article written, by the recipient in later life describing his war in the Crimea. Awarded ‘Jas Binns Rifle Bde’ (impressed naming). Bearing four clasps ‘Alma’, ‘Balaklava’, ‘Inkerman’ and ‘Sebastopol’. GC Private James Binns enlisted into the Rifle Brigade on the 20th February 1854 and before his training was complete his Regiment was ordered to the Crimea, landing on the 14th September. At the initial landing, they were marched on a 20 mile reconnaissance, returning to the beach in the middle of the night, wet and hungry, the landing boats were washed ashore and the men broke them up for fire wood, all their spare kit remaining with the transports, never to seen again. He describes his introduction to war at the Battle of Alma and goes on to tell of the Battle of Balaklava, The Regiment was extended and the Light Brigade passed through their ranks, he witnessed the charge and described it ‘It was a dreadful sight to see the wild charge’, The rifles were ordered to lay upon the ground as the charge began, the Russian shot flying above their heads, one shot bouncing in front of Binns and over his head’. It would not be until the following morning that he would be in the party to help the wounded men and horses of the Light Brigade in the Valley of Death. Present at the Battle of Inkermann he described this as ‘a proper soldiers battle, it was every man for himself and God for us all’. Private Binns luck held, while reloading his rifle, grape shot struck and broke the butt and very nearly took off his arm. On the 20th November 1854, he was facing the besieged Sebastopol, he was one of 100 Volunteers, lead by Lieutenant Claud Thomas Bourchier and Lieutenant Sir William Montgomery-Cuninghame, both men would be awarded the Victoria Cross for their bravery. The objective of the party were Russian fire pits, under the cover of darkness the surprise attack was a success driving the Russians out, however it had cost the lives of one Officer and 20 men killed or wounded. He was present at the taking of the Quarries, the storming of the Redan and the Fall of Sebastopol. Remaining with the Regiment he served in India (Not on the Mutiny Medal Roll) and at the Cape of Good Hope. Discharged from the Army he became a pauper, relaying on selling beadwork he had made himself, and expecting to end his years in the workhouse. The article giving his account was published at the time, in his words ‘to let the public know how England’s Heroes are treated when war is over’, a lesson over 150 years later, we seem yet to learn
