EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Colin Campbell (1792-1865), as depicted in this striking portrait from 1856, was a distinguished Scottish soldier and military commander who rose to prominence during the Crimean War (1854-1856). Campbell, who served in the British Army for over 50 years, is best known for his leadership of the Heavy Brigade, 93rd Highlanders during the Battle of Balaclava on October 25, 1854. Facing massively superior numbers of Russian troops, Campbell displayed remarkable bravery and opportunism, leading his men with great success against the odds. The Highlanders' heroic charge at Balaclava became one of the most notable actions of the Crimean War and secured Campbell's reputation as a brilliant military tactician. This portrait, which captures Sir Colin Campbell in his prime, was created in the year following the battle, and serves as a testament to his military prowess and enduring legacy in the annals of history.
