"This collection comprises unbound materials from the C series of the USPG archives held at the Rhodes House Library, Oxford. The first three boxes (C/CRIMEA/1-3) consist primarily of correspondence from army chaplains in the Crimea, 1854-1856 to the Society in London, describing conditions in Saitan and Sebastopol. Attention is drawn to the work of the military hospitals, and the efforts of the nurses under Florence Nightingale. Chaplaincy candidature papers are also included, detailing the careers of prospective army chaplains for the Crimea. Testimonials from important churchmen are often appended. The provision of a Crimea Memorial Church at Constantinople to commemorate those who had died in the war is also extensively described, with concomitant reports and plans, as well as lists of subscriptions. The records have been arranged under the geographical location of their origin, and subdivided by related subject. The second two boxes (C/EUR/22-23) contain letters, reports, financial statements, etc., spanning the periods 1860-1923 and 1927-1948 respectively, and relating to Christ Church, Constantinople [i.e. Istanbul], Turkey, which originally formed part of the Anglican diocese of Gibraltar. It was erected and run by the Society in memory of the fallen during that conflict and also, after World War I, commemorating those soldiers from the British Empire who died in the Battle of Gallipoli, 1915-1916."--Provided by the publisher.
