Front board almost detached. A well used field copy. The Crimean War prayer book of John Matthews of the 21st Royal North British Fusiliers with extensive manuscript inscriptions locating him at the British camp before Sebastopol and at Scutari. Matthews records himself on an endleaf as "John Matthews No. 4 Company/21st R.N.B. Fusiliers/Camp before Sebastopol/4th Division." Elsewhere he signs the volume variously as "Private 21st Regt" and Corpl. J. Matthews 21st Fusiliers." A particulary evocative ownership verso reads in part "John Matthews is my name and England is my nation/Crimea is my dwelling place and Christ is my salvation" followed by the traditional lines asking that the little book remember him after his death. Additional manuscript entries include "Scutari Bk. Hosp./Near Constantinople" apparently referring to the Barrack Hosiptal at Scutari together with a list of Crimean locations and actions: "Alma" "Inkerman" "Balaclava"and "Sebastopol." The 21st Royal North British Fusiliers served with the 4th Division in the Crimea and participated in the principal operations of the campaign. An unusually personal surviving devotional object from the Crimean War: a soldiers pocket Book of Common Prayer carried and repeatedly inscribed during the campaign with direct contemporary references to Sebastopol Scutari and the major battles of the war.
