Michael HintonFollowing his graduation in Veterinary Science from Bristol University (1966) and forty years working as an academic and a civil servant Michael Hinton retired in 2006. His fascination with the Crimean campaign was kindled during the 1990s when he dicovered that one of his two times great grandfathers served though out the war. He turned to the topic he was a Reader in Veterinary Public Health with a principal research interest in infectious diseases. After retirement he studied for a second PhD degree under Professor Andrew Lambert at King’s College London. The contents of the thesis (on the medical aspects of the war) form the basis of this book, to which has been added some further analyses. The author has visited the Crimea on four occasions as well as other locations which played a prominent role in the conflict, particularly Constantinople and Malta. He is a member of the Crimean War Research Society, Victorian Military Society, Society of Genealogists, and the Veterinary History Society. The author has previously published over fifty articles on various aspects of the Crimean War in the journals of these, and other societies, and his research now concentrates on the family relationships of participants and the memorials, surviving or otherwise, to their memory in churches, cemeteries and public places.
