During the mid 1850s, The British Empire, The French Empire and The Ottoman Empire went to war with the Russian Empire. It was the first modern war as it saw some of the first use of photography, railway and telegraphs in warfare. It also saw some of the first uses of trench warfare in a grim foreshadowing of the First World War. This story follows three fictional British soldiers - George Caine, Charlie Hicks and Jack Warren, in their adventures in Crimea from 1854 - 1856. Although the characters are fictional the battles they take part in were real, and their experiences are based on real ones. Some real historical people may also be featured. There may be some historical inaccuracies here and there so please feel free to report them if you see them.
