Abstract
The essay looks at the medical services of the Great Powers—Russia, France, and Britain—during the Crimean War 1853–1856, highlighting the unprecedented challenges that these countries had encountered while struggling to save health of their serving ranks during the conflict. Paying special attention to the Russian medical service during the war and its numerous logistical and tactical difficulties in comparison with those of the Allied forces, the essay reexamines the prevailed in historiography and public imagination notion of its total failure which is believed to be one of the major drivers behind the loss in the conflict. The military medical planning and patterns of the medical casualties of all three countries during the war are carefully studied and some general conclusions regarding the impact the Crimean War had on Russian, British and French military medical science, as well as its long-lasting legacy, are drawn at the end.
