EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Alma: Sir Colin Campbell and the Highlanders' Heroic Charge (September 20, 1854) This evocative print captures the intensity and bravery of the Highlanders during the Battle of Alma, a pivotal moment in the Crimean War. On September 20, 1854, under the command of Sir Colin Campbell, the Scottish regiments charged against the Russian redoubt, determined to secure a crucial victory for the British forces. The Crimean War, fought between Russia and an alliance of European powers, erupted over territorial disputes and Russian expansionism. The Battle of Alma, fought near the Alma River in present-day Turkey, marked the first major engagement between the two sides. In this image, Sir Colin Campbell, wearing his distinctive red coat and bonnet, leads the Highlanders into battle with a fierce determination. His iconic cry, "We'll hae nane but Hieland bonnets here!" rallied his troops and became a symbol of Scottish courage and pride. The Highlanders' charge was a decisive moment in the battle. Despite heavy casualties, their unyielding spirit and discipline broke the Russian lines, paving the way for a British victory. The Battle of Alma marked a turning point in the Crimean War and solidified the reputation of the Highland regiments as formidable warriors. This historical print is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave soldiers who fought in the Battle of Alma and the pivotal role the Highlanders played in the Crimean War.
