ALMA BATTLE - CRIMEAN WAR

View from in front of location of Suzdal Regt on Russian right. Once across the Alma, which was easily forded, the Highland Brigade had an easy time marching across the gentle slope. However the view is deceptive as there are hollows in which formed units can stand without being seen until one is close to them. There were masses of Russian cavalry on the ridge at the far left horizon but they did not interveen into the battle.
