Crimean War Publishers

Crimean War Publishers is a syndicate of CWRS members. Currently they publish a CD of the complete General Orders for the Crimea. The General Orders cover everything from praise for gallant conduct in battle to courts martial; from regimental appointments to warnings about charcoal stoves. This is the ultimate resource for the historian seeking to understand how the Crimean Army functioned. In addition, many thousands of individuals – men as well as officers – are mentioned by name, providing an invaluable reference for the family historian or medal collector. The important work has been the transcription of all this into a single searchable text file – some 850 pages. From that you will, if you wish, be able to turn to the actual scan of the original printing. The CD ROM contains all the images of the pages, plus the text as .doc, .rtf and .pdf files and the navigation is by simple html which will work in any browser.
