Caricature from Punch, 1881: "Our Own Correspondent—The Man for the Times"

Sir William Howard Russell, CVO (28 March 1827 – 10 February 1907) was an Irish reporter with The Times, and is considered to have been one of the first modern war correspondents. He spent 22 months covering the Crimean War, including the Siege of Sevastopol and the Charge of the Light Brigade. He later covered events during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the American Civil War, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War. His dispatches from Crimea to The Times are regarded as the world's first war correspondence.[1]

Meanwhile, the journalist William Howard Russell sent dispatches back from Crimea to this newspaper, which are recognised as the world's first war correspondence. It was Russell's detailed account of the Charge of the Light Brigade, the British cavalry's doomed advance on Russian positions, that inspired Tennyson's eponymous poem.
