The Devonshire Prison-ship, at Sheerness,1854. Creator: Unknown.

The Devonshire Prison-ship, at Sheerness, 1854. Prisoners of war held on prison hulks on the River Medway in Kent. 'The Emperor of Russia does not grant them any pay while they are prisoners of war, nor allow them to return home on parole of honour not to serve. A return (officially) has been called for and made, specifying the names and rank of all the officers and cadets, and the number of soldiers, stating the several companies to which they belonged when taken from Bomarsund, for the purpose of removing them from those receiving-ships into other prisons. Lewes gaol and Milbay prison, at Stonehouse, are to be their future abodes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
