| Description |
English: The Crimea Revisited: Monument at the Salient of the Redan, 1869. Engraving from a sketch taken in early April... '...by our Special Artist [of] the obelisk of white stone which was put in front of the salient angle of the Redan, a few yards from the ditch, to commemorate the death of many British soldiers and officers who were killed upon the two occasions when an assault was made on that formidable part of the Russian fortifications... The Great Redan, or as the Russians called it the Balshare redoubt... A glance at this monument, with the surrounding wall, might lead one to suppose that the men who fell at the assault on the Redan are buried beneath it. But this is not the case; their burial ground was the fosse at the salient of the Russian work. The monument stands at some distance from in front of that. The inscription ... It is erected upon the very ground which our soldiers twice crossed - first on June 18, again on Sept. 8, under a storm of grape-shot and musketry...
