EDITORS COMMENTS
Incident at the Battle of Isandlwana, Anglo-Zulu War, 22 January 1879. Artist: Charles Edwin Fripp (Incident at the Battle of Isandlwana, Anglo-Zulu War, 22 January 1879. Lieutenants Melvill and Coghill (24th Regiment) dying to save the Queens colours". This hauntingly powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history - the devastating defeat suffered by the British Army at Isandlwana during the Anglo-Zulu War. The artist, Charles Edwin Fripp, skillfully portrays Lieutenant Melvill and Lieutenant Coghill of the 24th Regiment valiantly fighting against overwhelming odds. In this scene of heroism amidst chaos and carnage, we witness their unwavering courage as they make a desperate last stand to protect their regiment's colors from falling into enemy hands. Despite being outnumbered and surrounded by Zulu warriors armed with spears and guns, these brave soldiers choose sacrifice over surrender. Lieutenant Melvill and Lieutenant Coghill's selfless actions did not go unnoticed. Both were posthumously awarded Victoria Crosses for their gallantry on that fateful day. Their names forever etched in history as symbols of bravery in the face of certain death. Through this artwork, we are reminded of both the horrors of war and humanity's capacity for extraordinary acts of valor. It serves as a poignant tribute to all those who have fallen in battle while highlighting the futile nature of conflict driven by colonial ambitions. Let us remember these fallen heroes who fought bravely for king and country on foreign soil; may their sacrifice never be forgotten.
