Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, also known as Lord Raglan, was a prominent British soldier in the 19th century. As the first Baron Raglan, he played a significant role in various historical events during his time. In 1855, renowned photographer Roger Fenton captured an iconic image of Field Marshall Lord Raglan, showcasing his distinguished presence and military prowess. Lord Raglan's influence extended beyond individual portraits; he was often seen participating in crucial meetings such as "A Council of War, " where he collaborated with Omar Pacha and Pelissier on strategic decisions before important battles. Another notable photograph by Fenton depicts Lord Raglan amidst "The Council of War on the Morning of the Taking of the Mamelon, " highlighting his leadership during critical moments. During the Crimean War, Lord Raglan established headquarters near Sebastopol. Thomas Picken's artwork titled "Distant View of Lord Raglans Headquarters" provides us with a glimpse into this significant location that witnessed numerous military operations under his command. Tragically, after Lord Raglan's passing in 1855, Thomas Picken immortalized his funeral cortege departing from headquarters to pay tribute to this esteemed English soldier. Two legendary battles forever associated with it can Balaclava and Alma. Friedrich Kaiser's painting portrays "The Charge of the English Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava, " commemorating their heroic efforts under Lord Raglan's command on October 25th, 1854. Similarly, William Simpson captures another pivotal moment in history - "The Burial of Lord Raglan near Sevastopol" - paying homage to this remarkable leader who left an indelible mark on Crimea. Through these images and artworks depicting Fitzroy James Henry Somerset or simply known as Baron Raglan or Field Marshall Lord Raglan, we gain insight into his influential role within British military history during the tumultuous 19th century.
