In the UK most people connect the Crimean War with Florence nightingale, who cared for the injured soldiers and developed new ideas about nursing, and with a battle called the Charge of the Light Brigade, a serious military mistake in which many British soldiers were killed.Criˌmean ˈWar, theSyllable |
