Lot 430C

A letter from an English Lieutenant written in Sebastopol, Crimea in 1855. Dated 14th Nov "Camp Before Sebastopol", together with a hand heightened collodian positive of the Lieutenant in uniform, the plate encased in a decorative gilt surround, the whole enclosed within a dark red, tooled leather folding case, 9.5x8cm.The letter, 18x22.5cm, folded into four sides of clear, intelligible handwriting.The contents of the letter give a good account of conditions, the work the young Lieutenant has been doing (building a stable for four horses to share with the Captain of his company). His hunt for a stove in Sebastapol which left him covered in fleas. His acquisition of a nice tabby cat at Balaclava to deal with the mice in his tent. A request for a pair of silver crowns for the collar of his tunic etc.The most remarkable part of the letter is his description of the French Magazine Explosion, which took place on the 15th November 1855. This was a well -documented disaster that claimed the lives of several hundred allied French soldiers. #British losses were miraculously small considering the size of the explosion. It makes for extraordinary reading: Nov 16th (1855)I reopen my letter to tell you of the awful catastrophe that took place yesterday. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon every one at their ordinary work thinking of nothing particular when suddenly we saw a sheet of flame rise up into the air to the height I should say of least 15 feet followed by a roar of noise, an awful noise indeed it was - this was a magazine about 3 or 400 yards from our camp - it sent thousands of shells up into the air which were bursting above our heads - it was really a fearful sight - everyone was panic stricken for a minute or two, a large piece of a shell fell within about 6 feet of where I was standing. I have not yet heard what the casualties are but I should think at least 200 men were blown up into the air. Just think, 200 men without a moments warning sent into eternity! There were some hundreds of lbs of powder exploded together with several hundreds of shells, rockets etc. By a wonderful intervention of Providence the wind shifted a few minutes after it, or no power on earth could have saved the old windmill which contains about 120 tons of powder besides rockets etc. if that had caught fire & exploded there is no saying what the consequences might have been - the rockets were all packed these pointed towards our camp. - as it was in our Division there were 10 men killed, 260 wounded by the shells bursting, this is, of course not counting the men who were blown up, they were mostly Artillerymen and Frenchmen. It was the whole of the light siege train. We were all under arms immediately after, expecting the Russians to take advantage of the confusion & attack us, but however they did not… etc etc.
