Rifle Brigade Reenactment - Inkerman

 One of the best Crimean groups.

5th November is the 170th anniversary of the battle of Inkerman. A bloody infantry battle fought between the Russians and the British, aided by the French during the Crimean War.

Three companies of 2nd RB were first in the fray and checked Soimonoff’s advance up the Careenage Ravine. Major Rooper and Lt.Colonel Horsford commanded 3 companies each of 1RB and fought the whole of the day mainly each side of shell hill, which had been taken by the Russians and who mounted their artillery upon it. They eventually captured shell hill at the point of the sword and drove the Russians from it.
