EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of unyielding courage and determination displayed by Irish hero, Luke O'Connor, during the Battle of Alma in the Crimean War. The image, taken in September 1854, depicts Sergeant Luke O'Connor (1831-1915) taking the colours from Lieutenant Anstruther, despite being severely wounded. The Battle of Alma, fought on September 20, 1854, was a pivotal moment in the Crimean War, with the British and French forces successfully pushing back the Russian army. The photograph shows Luke O'Connor, dressed in his military uniform, standing tall and resolute as he receives the colours from Lieutenant Anstruther. The expression on his face conveys a sense of duty and unwavering commitment to his country. Despite the gravity of his wounds, he carries the colours to the end of the day, embodying the spirit of bravery and self-sacrifice that would later earn him the Victoria Cross in 1857. The Victoria Cross is the highest decoration for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. Queen Victoria first presented the award on January 29, 1857, in recognition of the exceptional valor displayed by Luke O'Connor and other soldiers during the Crimean War. This photograph is a testament to the heroism and resilience of the men who fought in this historic conflict, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary soldiers in the pursuit of peace and freedom.
