CRIMEAN WAR. Lt-Colonel Edward Cooper Hodge, 4th Dragoon Guards. Commander of the 'Charge of the Heavy Brigade' at Balaclava on October 25th 1854. Letter signed, Camp before Sebastopol, 28th November 1854. 1 page, 16cm x 20.5cm. "Sir I have the honour to request that you will forward to Brigadier General Scarlett, this very application for leave of absence for Cornet Fisher of the 4th dragoon Guards from the 30th of Nov'b till the 30th Dec'b 1854 that he may there receive medial treatment of which he is in need. The certificate of his call has been forwarded in the usual manner. I have the honour to be Sir/Your most obed't Servant (signed) Edw'd C Hodge Lieut Col. Commanding 4th Dragoon Guards" Footnote:Hodge was the son of Major Edward Hodge (1782–1815) of the 7th Hussars, who was killed at the head of his squadron in a charge against Napoleon's Polish Lancers at Genappe the day before the battle of Waterloo.As a Lieutenant-Colonel, Edward Cooper Hodge commanded the 4th (Royal Irish) Regiment of Dragoon Guards. He commanded the 4th throughout the Crimean War and led the regiment in the immortal "Charge of the Heavy Brigade" at Balaclava on 25th October 1854, which took place the morning of the "Charge of the Light Brigade". He was subsequently placed in command of the 5th Dragoon Guards and later rose to General.

CRIMEAN WAR. Captain William Inglis, 5th Dragoon Guards, two autograph letters signed. Camp Kadikoi, 1st June and 6th June 1855, to his mother. 9 sides, including one cross written, 13cm x 20.5cm. Sold together with typed transcription and three scanned photographs of Inglis on horseback. The letters reveal both the monotony and the drama of a soldier’s experience. Inglis writes candidly about military movements, logistical challenges, and personal observations. Camp Kadikoi, 1st June 1855 Inglis reflects on the resumed bombardment of Sebastopol and the challenges of maintaining readiness amidst logistical constraints. He notes: "Thanks to the Electric Telegraph it is no easy thing now to give you by post any news from the Crimea as before this you will have heard that the bombardment recommenced today at 3pm." Prepared for action, he writes: "There is still talk of us taking the field and, as far as being well provided with horses and baggage animals, I am ready."Inglis also comments on the visit of Alexis Soyer, the French chef tasked with improving the army’s rations: "Mr Soyer dined here the other night... to improve the cooking of the army—and give us some hints upon cooking rations." He vividly describes the fly infestation plaguing camp life: "The fly pest becomes worse... I must have killed at the lowest 2 to 3000 [flies]... They do not allow one moment’s rest."Camp Kadikoi, 6th June 1855 Inglis shares optimistic news of Allied successes in the region, highlighting territorial gains: "An order tonight telling us that the numerous posts in and about the Eastern side of the Crimea & the Asiatic side, only Anapa remains in the hands of the Muscovs—enormous provisions & money, many ships and guns have been taken."He describes a recent Allied march of 30,000 troops to Baidar, where they anticipated encountering Russian forces: "They marched two miles beyond it and saw no traces of them—report says only 2 cossacks were seen." Inglis closes with observations on the difficulties of maintaining provisions in the summer heat: "As the heat gets greater, we experience greater difficulty in catering for our mess. Things killed in the morning of one day are quite unfit to eat the next." Footnote:William Inglis, Cornet, Feb 2nd 1849; Lieutenant, Feb 22nd 1850; Captain, March 3rd 1854; Brevet Major, Dec 12th 1854; left regiment, August 16th 1859; served in the Eastern Campaign 1854-55 including the battles of Balaklava, Inkermann and the siege and capture of Sebastopol (medal with claps, Brevet of Major 5th Class (Mejidie); afterwards a Lieut-Colonel and JP, North Riding of Yorkshire; Inspector of Reformatory and Industrial Schools of Great Britain, 1875-95.

CRIMEAN WAR. Captain Samuel Toosey Williams (Royal Scots Greys). Commander of the Second Squadron during the Charge of the Heavy Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava, October 1854. A series of four autograph letters signed: 9th August - 5th November 1854. Totalling 18 pages, 12cm x 19.5cm up to 13.5cm x 21cm, with one envelope.9th August 1854, Kulali (Bosphorus)Williams writes of his regiment's arrival and the disembarkation of horses near the Bosphorus. He reflects on the conditions and challenges of the journey, including the loss of only one horse during transit, though two of his are ill. He describes the adverse conditions in the barracks: “The barracks are literally heaving with fleas and lice, & you may remove them off your body by bunchfulls.” The letter also notes widespread cholera at Varna and expresses skepticism about Turkish cavalry: “Our fellows think if the Turks can lick the Russians we should have no trouble.”20th September 1854, KulaliThis brief letter mentions the regiment's imminent departure for Sebastopol. Williams is constrained by time:“We sail in an hour for Sebastopol and are now embarking …. I have only time to say bye.”7th October 1854, BalaklavaWritten from Balaklava, Williams details military engagements and preparations for the siege of Sebastopol. He recounts a victorious engagement against 15,000 Russian troops, noting the chaos and looting that followed: “We took no end of things, I never saw such …. in my life… General’s baggage carriages in which we found Champagne & wine, church plate, jewels & all kinds of things.” The letter reflects on the harrowing sights of the battlefield: “It was terrible to see the poor devils dead & dying in all directions.”Williams describes the siege preparations and concerns about the strength of the Russian defences, lamenting delays in the French deployment of artillery. He anticipates significant loss of life: “The loss of life will be something too terrible to dream of.” He also outlines the resource constraints affecting the British cavalry due to weather and illness, mentioning the loss of 250 horses during a storm and widespread cholera: “Some [regiments] not having more than 120-150 horses fit for duty.”5th November 1854, BalaklavaThis final letter reveals Williams' deteriorating health due to fever, forcing him to move from his tent to a room in Balaklava: “If I had not moved I should have died!” He mentions the kindness of Major Charles Nasmythe, who provided him with much-needed clothing and who will convey this letter in person upon his return to England. Williams laments his frail condition: “I am so weak I can scarcely write & wish myself with all my heart at home.” The letter concludes with grim news from Sebastopol, describing a Russian assault that devastated British regiments, with high-ranking officers killed or wounded: “The 30th & 41st Regts cut quite to pieces not a man left. Sir G. Cathcart killed & General Strangeways, & General Brown severely wounded.” Williams expresses profound uncertainty about the fate of the British forces: “I wonder what will become of us all. God alone in his mercy and protected us.”Footnote:Captain Williams was awarded a 'Heavy Brigade' Crimea Medal in recognition of his heroic actions at Balaklava, 1854.Born c. 1823. Entered the army as a Cornet in 1840, Lieutenant 1842, Captain 1847. Musters show he was effective from 1st October to the 23rd November, remarks state he died 23rd November [1854].Extract from Memoirs of the Brave, page 128: "WILLIAMS (Captain S. Toosey), Scotch Greys, died on the 23rd November, at Constantinople, where he had been conveyed from Balaklava. He was in the 32nd year of his age (half of which time he had passed in Her Majesty's service), and the eldest son of B.B. Williams Esq. of Buscot Park, Faringdon, Berks. The letter conveying this sad intelligence to Captain William's afflicted family states "The origin of his illness was low fever, the result of exposure, privation and excessive fatigue, prior and subsequently to the battle of Balaklava, at which he gallantly led the second squadron of the Scots Greys, on the memorable 25th of October."It is further noted that despite urgent entreaties by his medical advisers, Captain Williams insisted on going on duty rather than to the hospital. During the Charge, he was notably beset no less than four times by multiple enemy soldiers and nearly lost his life protecting two privates. Although he survived the battle without injury, the consequences of his fever and illness were such that he was soon afterward struck down so seriously that he had no hope of recovery.
