Inkermann Bayonet Clash Amidst Dense Fog and Rain
Special correspondence describes the Inkermann action on November 5 1854 with heavy Russian artillery, bayonet fights, and brutal hand to hand combat. British and French forces defend a exposed flank as troops pour through mud and mist. Sir George Cathcart falls, and Canrobert Bosquet press the assault until Russians retreat with heavy losses. The report ends with calls for more men.
