Crimea, Russian Uniform Facings?

Hi,

I've got copies of the relevent Ospreys (sigh...) but was hoping that someone could recommend a reference site or better still a book that gives details of russian regimental facings especially related to the struggle in the Crimea.

Thanks for reading chaps.

Darrell.
