Many first-hand accounts of the war were penned by British officers, but few were written by the common soldiers, as most were illiterate. As such, this account by Private Richard Barnham offers a rare insight into the daily lives of the soldiers serving in the Crimea. The passages he recorded during the war are not always an easy read, detailing as they do many of the hardships of campaign life, the devastation of the cholera outbreak (which killed almost twice the number of those who died in battle) and the horrors of the military engagements. But Richard also writes of the richness of the Crimean countryside and its people, together with the camaraderie of the soldiers themselves and the patriotic fervour that propelled such men to fight for their country.
