Camel corps and camels in Crimea differ from horses
Colonel McMurdo says about twenty five thousand camels were in service for the Binde expedition, with three thousand sent to Sinope for next spring. He notes average loads around six hundred pounds and twenty five to thirty miles per day. He recalls Napier forming a thousand mounted on five hundred dromedaries, two men per camel, and describes the square tactic for shelter and shooting.
