The Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in the Crimea, and staff |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: «Disease and famine are depicted following the figure of Death. Boxes labelled 'Winter Clothing' and 'Medical Stores' lie unopened and rotting and Death holds as a baton a despatch marked 'Routine'. All this underlines the logistic chaos that existed during this anything but glamorous and heroic war commemorated in Tennyson's 'Charge of the Light Brigade'. Paton was urged to publish this design but he refused to do so fearing it might be regarded as levelled at Lord Raglan, C-inC. British Forces in the Crimea.» (Auld, Fact and Fancy..p.13.)
