According to the original plan of attack, the Turks and Bosquet's division was to turn the Russian left, while the main attack was made upon the centre.
But, on account of the division of command in the allied army, there was no concert of action.

The heavy column of Bosquet probably decided the victory, although the battle was general throughout the whole line.

The English army advanced in columns of brigades at deploying distances, its right connected with the French, and its left protected by a line of skirmishers, of cavalry and horse artillery.

With respect to the formation and use of troops in the other battles, it may be remarked that the charge of the English light cavalry at Balaklava was apparently without necessity or object, and led to its inevitable destruction.

In the battle of Inkerman the Russians directed their main attack upon the English right and centre, with false attacks upon the French left and towards Balaklava.
