The Victoria Cross was handed to him June 26, 1857 by Queen Victoria at Hyde Park, London. I like his sideburns and his wife's Lydia's bonnet is pretty.

The battles were incredibly fierce with much of it in close quarter combat in trenches. The casualty rates were nearly as high as WW1 and the living conditions for soldiers were atrocious. It also produced the first war photographs which are fascinating for depicting the stalwart soldiers and brutal landscape of this critical war. The book makes a very good argument that the roots of today's turmoil in the Middle East are traced to the Crimean War.

I'm always amazed at how meticulous the record keeping was during various wars when you would think chaos reigned. In the packet I received from the Canadian government about my father's first world war service, I even got his dental records. The photo you selected is a well chosen match for the theme.
