In addition to the above, the 2nd Battalion of the Rifle Brigade
was also present, but in the earlier stages of the campaign it
acted as a divisional battalion.
Acting in co-operation with us was a strong French army, under
Marshal St. Arnaud, a division of which was commanded by one of
the Napoleon Princes, and a Turkish force of 8,000 men, under Omar
Pasha.
In the spring of 1855 a division of the Sardinian army also
arrived, and was sharply engaged with the Russians at the Battle of
the Tchernaya.
