The journalist William Howard Russell (1820 1907) is sometimes
regarded as being the first war correspondent, and his reports from
the conflict in the Crimea are also credited with being a cause of
reforms made to the British military system. Published in 1855,
during the late stages of the conflict, this is a collection of
eye-witness reports originally printed in The Times newspaper,
including the famous account, from 25 October 1854, of the Charge
of the Light Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava, and the other
engagement on the same day which gave rise to the phrase 'the thin
red line'. Russell's accounts are unflinching in their dramatic
descriptions of the appalling and insanitary conditions endured by
the ill-provisioned troops, and his criticism of those in command,
particularly Lord Raglan, had a dramatic impact on the British
people and government. Reading these letters today, it is easy to
understand why.
