"While an exhaustive study is not the preserve of this video..." Could have fooled me. I just want to say that when this series began I was idling away in a tolerable, but unfulfilling retail job. This channel and series genuinely inspired me to chase my passions and I'm now studying history at university. I dont know where this chapter if my life will take me, but I have to take the opportunity to thank you BML and other channels that are so passionate about the subjects they cover. Your example means a lot!

Thank you for all your hard work and tremendous efforts in producing this unique series. You do honour to the men who fought in this terrible engagement by bringing awareness through your videos to their service and sacrifice.

As someone who knows a little bit about video editing I must say that you've stepped it up considerably. The cut scenes, use of graphic inserts, GIS level tactical analysis, musketry demonstrations, resources and personal investment to splice it all together is no small feat. Maple Leaf Up indeed. Outstanding

Yep! This video is a pretty accurate representation of what will happen on tomorrow's Antropology exam. Wish me luck, gentlemen

This is why I watch Rob, the way he meshes firearms and military history together is amazing. He gives you historical reference and value of that specific firearm in a history lecture setting. Awesome!. I’m a military history and firearm guy myself so I’m getting the best of both worlds here, at the same time. Subscriber for LIFE. Thanks Rob!

I still grin at the descriptions of Pennefather - he must've been quite a character!

Thank you. Battles are not pleasant but your telling of it is.

My long awaited BML Climax of Battle!

It is really interesting how there are so many elements of the battle that were indicators of things to come. From the smaller infantry formation tactics, trench warfare, and dominance of rifle fire. This was a pivotal battle and you've done such a great job summarizing it.

Awesome video! Far better than anything the History Channel ever put out.

That was GREAT! Well done. The quality of your storytelling is a credit to your dedication. It's wonderful that your labor of love has produced such an outstanding documentary series.

1 hell of a history video👍👍

Glad to see you finally finish this, what may be so far your magnus opus. This was an amazing series from an era I still wouldn't know much about without your channel. I very much enjoyed the in-depth analysis that goes well into the conditions of the men, the ground, and really explaining the situation, both in how it was, and how the commanders would have perceived it.

Simply splendid. Now I have a grasp of what happened at the battle of Inkerman.

Excellent work, the video editing is fantastic. The key element that should receive the highest regard is the story of this epic battle. Thank you for this gem.

Thanks for completing your excellent series on this battle. Amazing that the videos span three years. I have read some accounts of Inkerman but seeing it presented like this makes everything much clearer and easier to follow. As well as the other lasting tributes and memorials to the Crimean War that were mentioned, there are multiple uses of Inkerman, Alma and Malakoff for roads and place names in the UK and France.

Rob, to the rescue !!!!!!!!!!! Capt. Brett Gibbons from papercartridges said, he wondered how unprecise the baker was ! How dare he ?!?!?!? I suggesst, in the pursuit of saving the honour of the empire, to throw down the gauntlet !

Excellent! And thanks for your recent SMLE magazine help. New spring has landed in the post and shows that my original follower was indeed bent and twisted.

I know it’s just a piece of cardboard but my heart skipped a beat seeing you swing that P51 around like a bat at 12:43 haha

Rob, am totally impressed with your presentation of this battle!

This has been a marvelous piece of work. Thank you for your effort and time.

Huzzah huzzah Excellent informative quality content as always Thank you dapper fellow for the hard work you and others have taken decades of research all culminating in this set of videos Bestest from Scotland 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Some of the best content on KZfaq. Or anywhere, for that matter.

The most belated Christmas present I've ever received. 🎄

I waited and waited and finally it came. Thank you for the work you put into this series and the entire channel. Thanks to this channel, I fell in love with P53 and P58 and I am rediscovering the history of Victorian Europe from a slightly different perspective than just my own country. (Poland)

The Best Video you’ve made so far. Great work Rob.

I’ve never seen the Crimean War depicted this way. Or a docuseries navigating and depicting a battle in general in this format. I was deeply invested and came out in the end very informed and entertained. Strategy, formations, units, men, terrain, and story -incredible depiction.

Great work Rob, Love to see the 63rd West Suffolk Foot in there last battle before being merged with the 95th foot.

Impressive and informative summary of this Crimean War action.

Thank you for all the work you did on this 5 part series. It was very interesting. Huzzah!

Excellent video and very well done! Thank you! Regards from the Left Coast of Canada 🇨🇦

Love the content, makes me proud to be a canadian

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 love your work and this series has been awesome! Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

Part five? unexpected but most welcome!

I really appreciate the maps and showing the positions of the different forces. It helps to understand a battle other than just hearing a description!

Yessss I can’t wait to fully watch the whole series in a row

Just as i though you have up on this series. Deffinetly gonna watch this when i have time. I loved the first 4 parts and you left us hanging in such a tense moment

Good use of “ current unpleasantness”.. Great Video.

There is of course one other 'memorial' worth mentioning. Still to be seen in Wollo province in Ethiopia is 'Sebastopol', an enormous mortar cast by the Emperor Tewodros as part of his artillery park. It was named in honour of the war and the importance of artillery there. The gun was abandoned by the Emperor's army as it marched to its last stand at the fortress of Magdala, being pursued by the forces of General Robert Napier during the British Ethiopian war of 1868. Interestingly that was introduced another new firearm, just as the Crimean saw the P51. The snider was used first in combat at Magdala with devastating effect. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastopol_(mortar)

Thanks for putting the work in to get Part 5 up. Very interesting series, exceptional work.

Outstanding finale to a superb series! Thank you very much!

Hooray for part five!!!

The P51 and other such arms in the ACW that started 6 years after this. There have also been many board games based this war.

Bravo sir!

Amazing, incroyable.

Well Done Sir

You need to go more in depth on more battles like this I enjoyed this series very much

Hello from the Crimea! 🇷🇺

It's been a tick or two since last you were deep in the Inkerman campaign. Good to see that bloody groundhog hasn't put you off. what with six more weeks of winter and all. o~0

Great series! Might be prudent to put links of prior parts in description and/or create a playlist, as KZfaq's inability to serve up multi-part series of videos is impressive.

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY United States of America and the history of the British empire

I know you put a lot of hard work into this series and it shows. Absolutely amazing

The Wesford - Parker Memorial. It's the only monument to this insanity on the entire North American continent.

great job on this series where do you get your targets

Well I guess we have to find and review a British 18 pounder now. They sound awesome.

I was just watching a documentary on the battle for Sevastopol.

And just a few years later the largest and most well armed armies in all of human history would maul each other across an entire continent in a war so savage the scars from it have not faded over a century later. The writing was on the wall, and anyone who claims WW1 took the fighting sides by surprise wasn't paying attention to that "colonial skirmish" on the far side of the world.

Will you create a combined video that puts all parts together?

You know what? I think you should talk more about the people who ended up using british muzzleloaders. Who joined the army, for what reasons and into what units did they filter during these various times?

Always count on the Guards. Batted tied and bloody, but still unbroken.

My previous comment and some others have disappeared? How is the oldest comment from two days ago when the video is two hours old? Anyway, outstanding work. You are a marvel.

I want a P51 myself now SO badly! Far as I know The Rifle Shoppe is my only potential chance to get one and other rare arms.. But I am still a little in the dark how the site works but with an email they gave me a better idea; still I hope for some advice, so I can get one of my own, even if I must piece it together.

Come to HoldFast: Nation at War, Napoleonic war game, all the weapons of this era are there. On foot, on horseback, with cannon, bayonet, sword, etc. You can be a sniper with a Baker!! Kilt possible. We will experience all the adventures of Britishmuzzleloaders...

I have a question for Lee Enfield enthusiasts. Is there a Lee Enfield Mk IV type in 308 NATO?

God Save the King

This isn’t really relevant to the video but what is the purpose of the ram rod on the martini henry?

95th WE ARE THE NAILS!

It must be hard doing videos when they have you pinned down all the time!

Today rifle companies have a rally cry. One chosen word that indicates that you are stop tactical movement and advance as one with fixed bayonets.

:)

Where does a man find a bear skin Beefeater bonnet?

The real question is, is can an unabashed British Canadian loyalist militia expert on the Baker infantry rifle, collaborate with a crown despising Canadian patriot who also has a Baker rifle? I got one to use as a period correct prop and make videos and, as I started my research on learning how to properly fire and maintain my gun I saw that you were already doing exactly what I was thinking of doing, but also kind of the opposite, kind of... My interest is the truthful telling of the persecution and punishments of early settler Canadians by both the British and Canadian (still British) soldiers specifically in and around the 1837-39 rebellions, the battle of Batoche 1885 and the many of the other skirmishes leading up to Batoche in the Great North-West rebellion. Big drama needs a big visual story to drive it home. You have the gun, garb and accoutrements, I also have gun, simple period garb and I think if we put our balls aside and go at each other with just patch and powder it would make for not only a fun video to watch but also serve as a 100% correct historical reference. (I can fake epic death scenes...) I think the Baker rifle is an underappreciated and almost forgotten cog of Canadian history in it's use in law/military enforcement, and the armed resistance to it. Canada's real history is darker than many currently know. Yes it is there to see in historical texts and drawings but, the stories and knowledge generally out there is stale, not very truthful and mega boring. It needs to show scenes of the reality back then, British soldier or loyalist against freedom loving Canadian patriots. I can play the parts of the dashingly handsome patriot, or William Lyon Mackenzie at the battle of Montgomery's Tavern, Louis Riel at Batoche and Louis Papineau at the Battle of Saint Denis, you can play the parts of soldier and loyalist of all skirmishes or Lord Durham and the hangman. I reside near Peterborough Ontario. You?
