May 1855 CE

Sixty ships containing seven thousand French, five thousand Turkish and three thousand British troops set off on May 24, 1855, for a raid on the city of Kerch east of Sevastopol in an attempt to open another front on the Crimean peninsula and to cut off Russian supplies.

When the allies land the force at Kerch, the plan is to outflank the Russian Army.

The landings are successful, but the force will make little progress hereafter.
