Armand, that link is quite fantastic. I'd seen some of those pics before, but never such a large collection all in one place, all on one web-page. Thank you for posting the link.

Re: the dromedaries, I've heard of them having been used for transport in the Crimea, but never heard of them used in combat there. But I'm no expert.
