Robins C. (Ed.) The Murder of a Regiment: A Crimean War Officer's Journal
Bowdon, Cheshire: Withycut House, 1994. — 52 p.
This is a transcription of a journal "Winter Sketches" held by the Dukes of Cornwall's Light Infantry Regimental Museum in Bodmin Castle. It was written by an officer of the 46th Foot (South Devonshire Regiment), possibly Lieutenant Richard Lluellyn (Llewellyn). Major Robins annotated and added additional material to this first-person account of the terrible conditions endured by the British troops in front of Sevastopol in the winter of 1854-1855. Hunger, cold, and disease destroyed more of the army than the Russian enemy.
