Crimean War Research Society

The Society aims to bring previously unpublished or under-researched material concerning the Crimean War to the attention of a wider audience, together with making it available to present and future historians.

The founding committee included Glenn Christodoulou (Chairman 1983-1995), David Cliff (Secretary 1983– ) and Frank Hippman (Publications).

During that time the CWRS underwent organisational changes, including the voluntary ending of its charitable status, which it had acquired a couple of years previously.

Scaling the Heights of the Alma; The Charge of the Light Brigade; the Soldier's Battle; Florence Nightingale; the Fall of Sevastopol; the incompetence of those in command; the endurance of the ordinary soldier; the Great Storm; the political wrangles in Constantinople, Vienna, Paris and London; the newspaper reporting and the new-fangled telegraph; the uniforms and the arms; the soldiers, sailors, camp-followers, spectators, businessmen and politicians; the effect on the military, industry and the man in the street; all of these and more are examined by the Crimean War Research Society.

[6] The Society publishes a wide range of publications and documents of interest to those researching the War, including copies of contemporary maps and books, information sheets on the contents of regimental museums, bibliographies, medal rolls and other books and booklets written by the Society's members.
