Lieutenant-General Liprandi, 1856. Pavel Liprandi, Russian officer who fought in the Crimean War. 'It is from his command in the Crimea, rather than from his previous career, that Liprandi has acquired a great reputation in Western Europe. His energy and daring soon displayed themselves. It was General Liprandi who planned and carried out the attack on Balaclava, the consequences of which to the Allies, had it succeeded, would have been almost irretrievable'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
