ABSTRACT
Russell of The Times stood near Lord Raglan and his staff on the Chersonese Plateau, which overlooked the North Valley from the west. Along the valley’s northern edge ran the Fedioukine Hills, and to the south the Causeway Heights, carrying the Woronzoff Road from Sebastopol. Along these southern Heights, blocking the way from the valley to Balaclava itself, lay a series of earthen artillery redoubts manned by Turks. The most distant of these from the allied position was the No. 1 redoubt on Canrobert’s Hill.
