BALAKLAVA BATTLE -
CRIMEAN WAR

 
  battlefield  
 

Here we are standing on the railroad track just out of the entrance to the Balaklava inlet and near the village of Kadikoi which is to our right off the photo. Canrobert's hill is off to the right. On Sapun Gor ridge we see the white building which is the memorial diorama museum for World War II. It is located close to where Lord Raglan and staff were located during the Battle of Balaklava. The Causeway height is not much of a height but extends along the low ridgeline on the right half of the photo. The Heavy Brigade engaged the Russian cavalry in the green space just in from the right edge of the photograph.
