Hello friends The Crimean War was a military conflict, 1854-56, and there were many men of Ulster, who fought, were wounded and died, during it.
Irish regiments, including the Inniskilling Fusiliers, would have been part of Britain, therefore records for a soldier or seaman, may be found at the National Archives (Kew) U.K. I've noticed from reading old news, that one of the hospitals used was Scutari Hospital (Istanbul Turkey). This was a hosptial where Florence Nightingale & her nurses worked. A couple battles that I noticed some men of Co. Tyrone being a part of were Balaklava, Inkermann, and Sevastopol 20 Jun. 1855 Irish heroes in the Crimea Lieutenant T. G. LOWRY This excellent and promising young officer, a native of Dungannon, is, we are grieved to say, in the list of the dead last forwarded from the seat of war. He fell in the bloody attack at the quarries before Sebastopol the morning the the 8th inst. Lieutenant LOWRY was the son of T. LOWRY Esq., of Pomeroy, near Dungannon. A young gentleman of great talent, and passed brilliant examination at Woolwich immediately before being sent to the Crimea. The greatest sympathy is expressed by all classes of society in this neighbourhood of Dungannon with the bereaved family. Lieutenant BOYD of the 17th Regiment We are sorry to find the name of Lieutenant BOYD in the list of wounded in the affair of the 11th before Sebastopol. This gallant young officer is the son of W.
