This was after the second battle of Plevna, a most disastrous affair for the Russians, whose loss hors de combat was seven thousand three hundred and five officers and men, the killed numbering two thousand four hundred. The siege of Plevna signalled the introduction of the repeating rifle into European warfare. Reports of the heavy losses suffered by the Russian army at the hands of the Turks at Plevna forced armies across Europe to begin the process of re-equipping with repeating rifles, or converting their existing single shot rifles into magazine fed weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 11.69 x 8.27 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 13, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53300932804915,"sku":"9781783315628","price":48.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/zJn8HvkKkG9781783315628.webp?v=1777501066","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-campaign-in-bulgaria-1877-1878-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
