EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts, astride his noble Arab charger, Volonel, in the year 1900. The image harks back to a pivotal moment in history when Roberts led the British Army to victory against the Afghan forces in the Battle of Kandahar in 1879. Dressed in his full military regalia, the Earl of Roberts cuts an imposing figure with his red uniform, adorned with various medals and insignia, signifying his military accomplishments. Roberts, who was born in 1832, had already gained a reputation as a formidable military leader during the Indian Mutiny in 1857. However, it was his successful campaign in Afghanistan that cemented his place in history. Riding Volonel, Roberts led his troops to Kandahar, a strategic city in southern Afghanistan, which had been under siege by Afghan forces. In a daring charge, Roberts and his men broke through the enemy lines, securing a decisive victory for the British. The photograph, taken in 1900, captures Roberts in his prime, still a formidable presence in the military despite his advanced age. The Arab charger, Volonel, is equally impressive, its sleek form and powerful build a testament to the breed's enduring reputation as a superior mount for desert warfare. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when military prowess and courage were the defining qualities of a great leader. Lord Roberts' legacy extended beyond the battlefield, as he went on to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army from 1885 to 1892, and later becoming the Viceroy and Governor-General of India from 1893 to 1898. This photograph, therefore, not only captures a moment in military history, but also encapsulates the spirit of an extraordinary man who left an indelible mark on the annals of British military history.
