    "To such as knew that the climate of the Crimea is not unhealthy, that the resources of the neighbouring Turkish provinces were abundant, and that the available sea transport was ample and secure, it was utterly unintelligible how men undergoing an extraordinary amount of most exhausting labour and exposure should have been allowed to perish by hundreds and even by thousands for want of wholesome food and sufficient clothing. It was plain that our system of providing for the supply of troops in the field, if system it could be called, was utterly inadequate, and lamentably broken down. The truth is, that we had no properly organized system. ... Looking to the appalling statistics of disease and mortality annexed to that able and honest review, and to the indisputable facts it sets forth - facts which the Chelsea Board did not take the trouble to investigage - there is absolutely something revolting in the levity with which all the fatal privations so heroically endured by the troops, are now attributed to so luidcrously inadequate cause as a deficiency of pressed hay from England." - Preface by John McNeill. T"Colonel Alexander Tulloch, with Sir James McNeil, was appointed to head the Commission of Inquiry into the supplies of the British Army in the Crimea, following the reports of the dreadful conditions in which the British troops lived during the winter of 1854-5. Tulloch sailed out to the Crimea to investigate, and submitted a report to Parliament early in 1856. Several different people were singled out for criticism, including Lords Lucan and Cardigan, particularly in respect to the suffering of the horses during the winter. Because of this criticism of serving officers, the Army refused to accept the report and make any changes, preferring to lay the blame for any failiures with London-based civil servants. Nevertheless the commissariat underwent reform in 1858 as a result. Tulloch later published a defence of his report, 'The Crimean Commission and the Chelsea Board'. Many years later, following continued criticism from Alexander Kinglake in the latter's monumental history of the Crimean war, Tulloch published ... a second edition of his publication specifically addressing Kinglake's comments." - Royal Collection Trust. Second Edition of Tulloch's book, containing his refutation of Kinglake's critique of his findings.
