Photograph of a group of eight soldiers from the Grenadier Guards who were wounded during the Crimean War. Five are standing and three are seated. All are wearing military uniform including winter coats. Several have visible injuries to their arms and Private David Slade, standing to the far left, is using a walking stick.
