Amidst the chaos of the Crimean War (1855), Mac Mahon famously declared 'I'm here I'm staying,' as the Grand charge of the Guards on the Heights of the Alma unfolded. Amidst the deafening roar of cannons and the crackle of musket fire, a line of Coldstream Guardsmen advanced, fixed bayonets in hand. The Battle of the Alma from the French position on 20th September 1854, was a pivotal moment in the war, with Russian troops meticulously defending their ground at the Battle of Inkerman, 5th November, 1854. The determination and courage of soldiers during these battles were immortalized in engravings such as 'I'll do for you when I come out.' Fast forward to the present day, as we reflect on the past, let us remember the sacrifices made during the Crimean War and strive for peace. In the spirit of recycling, let us repurpose old rags and broken glass, just as history has repurposed these battles into lessons for future generations.
