The battle of Inkerman : A new poem /
McGonagall, William.
[Edinburgh : s.n.,
1902?]
In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
'Composed 1902'.
At the top of the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
First lines read: 'Twas in the year of 1854, and on the 5th November, / Which Britain will no doubt long remember, / When the Russians plotted to drive the British army into the sea, / But at the bayonet charge the British soon made them flee.
