These letters are form a Mr Heal to his brother from Camp Sebastopol describing his daily life in the Crimea. They include details of 1 week when a shell made a direct hit and killed 2 servicemen outright, blew the legs off 6 others and the arms off 4 more. They are a detailed and fascinating read.
