1856 34th Bearded Boarding Colonel Corps Crimea Crimean Encamped Leaving Massed Redoubt Regiment Return Goodenough
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative engraving captures the massed ranks of the British 34th Regiment as they bid farewell to the Crimean Peninsula and prepared to embark on their return journey to England in 1856. The bearded soldiers, dressed in their red coats and bearskins, are seen boarding the Prince Arthur, a ship of the Royal Navy, which would carry them across the sea. The Prince Arthur is accompanied by the Thames, a vessel of the Land Transport Corps, which would have brought supplies and reinforcements to the British forces during their campaign in the Crimea. The scene is set near Victoria Redoubt, a military fortification built during the war to protect the British forces from Russian attacks. The 34th Regiment, commanded by Colonel Goodenough, had encamped near the redoubt during the final stages of the Crimean War. The war, which had begun in 1853, had seen fierce fighting at the Battle of Alma, the Battle of Balaklava, and the Siege of Sevastopol. The Crimean War was a significant moment in British history, marking the end of the East India Company's role in foreign wars and the beginning of the British Army as a professional military force. The war also led to important reforms in military logistics, medical care, and military technology. This engraving, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection of British military history or Victorian-era art. It offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of the British Empire and the lives of the soldiers who fought to defend it.
