Photograph of the camp of the 5th Dragoon Guards. In the foreground there is a small camp with a number of tents and wooden huts. Several horses are grazing at the centre of the camp, some blurred through movement. The campsite extends into the valley behind and there are hills in the distance. Troops engaged in the Siege of Sevastopol camped in the surrounding countryside.
