Before Sebastopol Nov 1854 - The Sentry

Before Sebastopol Nov 1854. The Sentry. Pen and ink and watercolour by Lt (later Col) Henry John Wilkinson (1829-1911), 1st Battalion, 9th (The East Norfolk) Regiment of Foot, 1854. Associated with the Crimean War (1854-1856). According to a manuscript note below the drawing, a copy of it was made for ?Genl Sir Richard England at his own request?, presumably as a souvenir of the campaign. The shivering sentry certainly became a by-word for misery
