Since the days of Peter the Great the artillery had been the senior service in the Russian army, with its officers paid more and generally better trained than any others. In the Crimean War much of the artillery was employed in defending the walls of Sevastopol, but of course it was also employed in the many set-piece battles, the most famous example being where Don Cossack horse artillery was charged by the British Light Brigade as Balaclava. The artillery in this set is based on that particular action, and therefore depicts horse artillery, although uniforms and guns were common to all Russian artillery.
