EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment of departure for the Army Works Corp as they bid farewell to their loved ones on the banks of the Thames at London Bridge in 1855. The Corps, consisting of approximately 450 mechanics and labourers, were embarking on a perilous journey to the Crimea to support the British war effort. The scene is set against the backdrop of the bustling Thames waterfront, with the iconic London Bridge in the distance. Two Watermens steamers, the means of transportation for the soldiers, are moored at the riverbank, their smokestacks billowing plumes of steam into the grey sky. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen waving and embracing their families and friends, their faces etched with a mix of determination and sadness. The Crimean War, which had begun in 1853, was a major conflict between Russia and several European powers, including Britain. The Army Works Corp was an essential component of the British military machine, providing vital engineering and logistical support to the troops on the ground. Their departure marked the beginning of a long and arduous journey to the Crimea, which would test their courage and resilience in the face of adversity. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the Army Works Corp and their families during the Crimean War. It also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the sights, sounds, and emotions of the Thames waterfront during the mid-1850s.
