Mrs Duberly's War
Mrs Duberly's journal is one of the most vivid eye-witness accounts we have of the Crimean War. Fanny Duberly, then aged 25, accompanied her husband to the Crimea in 1854, and remained there until the end of the fighting, the only officer's wife to remain throughout the entire campaign. She survived the severe winter of 1854-55, witnessed the battle of Balaklava and the charge of the Light Brigade, and rode through the ruins of Sebastopol. Spirited and courageous, she was known by sight to British and French soldiers across the battlefields, regarded often with enthusiasm and sometimes with disapproval.

The War of Roger & Fanny. An History of Crimean War 1854-55
Fanny was quite a girl, but also a writer of considerable talent. Maligned by some of her contemporaries because she didn't quite fit in with the Victorian image of what a 'lady' should be, she did things her way and wrote about them in a vivid, lively way, bringing the Crimean War to gut-wrenching life in a way no history book can. She was there for the duration, saw the Charge of the Light Brigade, walked through the ruins of Sebastopol and didn't hesitate to say what she thought. Admired, parodied but never ignored, Fanny Duberly was a force of nature and a woman out of her time. The diary is linked by well-chosen excerpts from her letters and brief historical notes, putting what Fanny is saying into its proper context. We have enriched this terrific book with several Roger Fenton'images of Crimean war in colour, to offer to you something more wonderful!! This book is based on "the Journal Kept During The Russian War" by Frances Isabella Locke Duberly. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1856. No effort has been made to modernize or standardize the spelling used in the original text.
