EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Henry Brougham Loch (1827-1900), an esteemed soldier and colonial administrator, is depicted in this striking photograph. Born on October 11, 1827, in Scotland, Loch's impressive career began in the British Army, where he served with distinction in various campaigns, including the Crimean War. In 1861, Loch's talents extended beyond the military when he was appointed as the Chief Protector of Aborigines in Western Australia. His compassionate approach to the indigenous people earned him both respect and admiration. In 1869, Loch was appointed as the Governor of Victoria, Australia, a role he held until 1874. During his tenure, he focused on improving infrastructure, education, and the economy, leaving a lasting impact on the province. Loch's commitment to public service continued after his term as Governor. He served as the High Commissioner for South Australia from 1877 to 1880 and later as the Governor of New South Wales from 1880 to 1882. This photograph captures Sir Henry Brougham Loch in later life, reflecting the wisdom and experience gained from his remarkable career. His legacy as a soldier, colonial administrator, and governor continues to be celebrated in both Scotland and Australia, where he is remembered as a visionary leader who made a significant difference in the lives of many. Sir Henry Brougham Loch passed away on March 24, 1900, leaving behind a rich and inspiring history. This image serves as a testament to his remarkable achievements and enduring impact on the world.
