The Kuleieh Barracks, Constantinople - the Royal Artillery disembarking from "The Jason", 1854. Scene from the Crimean War, British soldiers arriving in Turkey. In these handsome Barracks were quartered the Scots Greys, on leaving the Himalaya...The carriages and powder-waggons are discharged first. Next were drawn out the gun-carriages; next, a couple of flat boats with decks (as the vessel could not come close up), and then the barrels are let down into their places. On the balcony of the Barracks, directly in front of the vessel, was a Turkish band playing for the gratification of their brethren in arms...The Sketch faces up the Bosphorus, in a north-westerly direction. These Barracks lie on the Bosphorus, about a mile above the Sultan's summer palace'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Crimean War, as the Royal Artillery disembarks from the ship "The Jason" at the Kuleieh Barracks in Constantinople, Turkey, in 1854. The image offers a glimpse into the logistical process of unloading artillery and supplies from the vessel, with gun carriages, carriages, and powder wagons being unloaded first. Flat boats are then used to transport the barrels to their final destination on the barracks' balcony. The Turkish band, playing on the balcony for the entertainment of the British soldiers, adds a sense of camaraderie and celebration to the scene. The Kuleieh Barracks, located on the Bosphorus about a mile above the Sultan's summer palace, served as quarters for the Scots Greys during their stay in Turkey. This photograph, taken from the north-westerly direction, provides a fascinating insight into the military operations during this significant historical period.
