Note 223 — Chapter VII · THE INVASION OF THE CRIMEA.
Reading edition
It appears that the two companies of the Coldstream which were on board H.M.S. Bellerophon, under the command of Colonel Lord F. Paulet, retained their lightened knapsacks (Wyatt, p. 19). The reader will be interested to learn that the men left Varna dressed in white trousers; the order to take cloth trousers into wear, is dated Sept. 15th.
