EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - "The Black Watch. Forward the 42nd! at the Alma, 1854" during the Crimean War. The Battle of the Alma marked the beginning of this infamous conflict and saw an Anglo-French force led by General St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan triumph over General Menshikov's Russian army. In this image, we witness a courageous Scots regiment under Sir Colin Campbell fearlessly storming a hill held by Russian forces. The determination on their faces reflects their unwavering commitment to defending their country and upholding their patriotic duty. The vibrant colors bring life to this historic scene, transporting us back to that fateful day in 1854. This collectible print is part of "Battles for the Flag" a set of cards distributed with British boys' comic The Wizard in 1939, showcasing significant moments from British military history. Robert Gibb II skillfully captured both the intensity and heroism displayed by these brave soldiers as they charged forward into battle. Their actions symbolize not only their own bravery but also represent the strength and resilience of the entire British Army during this tumultuous time. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, let us remember those who fought valiantly for our freedom and honor their sacrifice. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and reminds us never to forget those who have bravely served our country throughout centuries of warfare.
