Florence Nightingale
-
Found poor care for soldiers due to overworked staff. Medicines in short supply - hygiene was neglected - no equipment to process food
-

-
Insisted wards to be cleaned, dressings changed regularly, windows to be kept open, separated wounded from sick, wash of hands

W H Russell
-
-
Reported on the Battle of Alma - Covered Siege of Sevastopol and coined the term 'the thin red line'
Wrote Graphic accounts of work of battle surgeons; criticizing lack of ambulances dealing with the wounded
Raglan banned officers from talking to Russell - damage had already been done. Public found out what war was really like for the first time
'The Times' became very critical of the war effort and this became a matter of concern for the government and attracted the attention of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
