One lesser-known fact is that he developed a light cavalry saddle which was used in the Crimea. As this was not an issue item, it was privately purchased by Officers both for their own use, and for some of their troops. An interesting discussion of Nolan's Irish roots can be found in David Murphy's book Ireland and the Crimean War.<br /><br />Pip pipProvost Marshalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066361605695021590noreply@blogger.com
