What reading level is Queen Victoria book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Theirclothing wore to rags, their boots--mostly of poor quality--gave outentirely. Their food--such as it was--consisted of biscuit, saltbeef or pork, and rum.
No vegetables could be obtained, and for want of green food scurvybroke out among the troops. Stores were left decaying in the holdsof transports, and the doctors were forced to see men dying beforetheir eyes without the means of helping them. The loss of life fromthe actual fighting was considerable, but more particularly so fromthe ins...anitary condition of the camp and the wretched hospitalarrangements.
The actual figures of our losses in the war speak for themselves. Out of a total loss of 20, 656, only 2598 fell in battle; 18, 058 diedfrom other causes in hospital. Several regiments lost nearly alltheir men, and during the first seven months of the siege men diedso fast that in a year and a half no army would have been left atall.
William Russell, the special correspondent of _The Times_, firstbrought this appalling state of affairs to the notice of the public, and the nation at last woke up.
