===Home Ridge=== [[File:Crimean War 1854-56 Q71166.jpg|thumb|The Field of Inkermann, with the trenches]] The Grenadiers under the command of the [[Prince George, Duke of Cambridge|Duke of Cambridge]] arrived and initiated a new assault on Sandbag Battery. In the words of Figes, "The fighting became increasingly frenzied and chaotic, as one side charged the other down the hill, only to be counter-attacked by another group of men from further up the hill." [[Pierre Bosquet]]'s [[Zouave]]s, called upon by Raglan earlier, then overwhelmed the Russians, driving the Tarutinsky Regiment from Sandbag Battery and onward to St. Clement's Ravine, before the Zouaves joined the British on Home Ridge. [[Peter Dannenberg (general)|Dannenberg]], leading Pavolv's Okhotsky, Yakutsky and Selenginsky regiments, with the remnants of Soimonov's, then attacked the Sandbag Battery, while [[George Cathcart]]'s 4th Division six companies attacked the ridge by Sandbag Battery. Stunned by the French arrival, the Russians retreated to Shell Hill., where they came under fire from the British two 18-pounders. Dannenberg then ordered a retreat, and the Russians fled in panic.{{sfnp|Figes|2010|pp=262-268}}
