    "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!

    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 He gives you historical reference and value of that specific firearm in a history lecture setting.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!

    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

    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.

    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)
