EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of departure for the Crimean War as men of the Wiltshire Militia board a ship at Portsmouth Harbour in 1855. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a significant military conflict between Russia and an alliance of European powers, including Britain. The Wiltshire Militia, a part-time military force raised from the county of Wiltshire in England, played a crucial role in the British effort during this war. The soldiers in this photograph are seen in their distinctive red coats and shakos, carrying their equipment and supplies as they make their way aboard the ship. The atmosphere is one of determination and resolve, as these men prepare to leave their loved ones behind and embark on a dangerous and uncertain journey. The ships in the background are filled with other soldiers and supplies, ready to set sail for the Crimean Peninsula. The Crimean War was a pivotal moment in British military history, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the experience of the soldiers who served in it. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women during times of war, and the courage and resilience that has long been a part of the British military tradition. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history, the Crimean War, or the social and cultural history of Victorian England. It is a powerful reminder of the human stories that lie behind the grand narratives of history, and a testament to the enduring power of the photographic medium to capture and preserve the past.
