EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense gaze and unyielding determination of The late Brigadier-General Tylden, William Burton Tylden, a distinguished British Army officer of the Royal Engineers. Serving for an impressive 43 years, Tylden's military career began at Gibraltar and continued in Sicily, where he was the Commanding Engineer during the siege and capture of Fort Santa Maria, and the action before Genoa, earning him a Brevet promotion. In 1815, during the campaign in Belgium and France, Tylden commanded the Pontoon Train and was present at the taking of Paris, later joining the Army of Occupation. Tylden's military accomplishments continued during the Crimean War, where he served as Commanding Engineer at the Battle of the Alma and was commended in Lord Raglan's despatch. Tragically, just a few days after a brilliant victory, Tylden succumbed to an attack of cholera. This portrait, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854, offers a glimpse into the fashion of the 19th century military uniform, with Tylden dressed in his formal attire, complete with the insignia of his rank and regiment. The image serves as a testament to Tylden's remarkable military career and the sacrifices made during the line of duty.
