View from Lord Raglan' position south up the draw through which the road passed over the ridge. Kourgane hill is off photo to the left. The French were attacking the ridge to the right. The Russians couldn't believe that the figures they saw on this hill were British officers. Raglan ordered an artillery piece up onto this hill from where it dislodged the Russian center covering the road.
