Bearskin's Crimea: Lieutenant Colonel Henry Percy and the Victoria Cross by Percy Algernon
Using much previously untapped source material A Bearskin's Crimea is a blow-by-blow account of the Grenadier Guards' experiences in the Crimean War. The principal character, The Honourable Henry Percy, a member of the Northumberland family, was present at all the major battles of that appalling conflict: The Alma, Balaklava, Inkerman and the Seige of Sebastopol. Percy was no ordinary soldier: not only was he a shrewd observer with a skilled pen but a thoroughly capable and courageous officer. This is borne out by his winning the Victoria Cross and his rapid promotion.
An Oxford University graduate, Algernon Percy is passionately interested in military history and particularly his family's role. He works in London and his home is in Northumberland.
