	Battle of Inkerman, 5 November 1854
		The Battle of Inkerman was the third major engagement of the Crimean War, between the Allies and the Russian on the Crimean Peninsula.
		The British knew it as Mount Inkerman (and by the Russians as Cossack Mountain) and was bordered to the west by the Careenage Ravine and to the east by the Sapoune Ridge.
		While the battle had not benefited the Allies situation as regards Sebastopol, it could rightly be considered an important victory, and one of the greatest actions the British Army has fought having been victorious in the face of odds of five-to-one.
