“The Seat of War in the Krimea,” 1855, showing English troops in red, French in blue, Ottomans in yellow, and Russians in green. The map also shows the Grand Crimean Central Railway, purpose-built by the British for delivering troops and supplies to the front. The Crimean War was one of the first to use railroads heavily. Europeans also received near-instantaneous updates from the front via telegraph and could see photographs of the war for the first time. -- source link
