EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intense and chaotic moment during the Storming of Badajoz towards the end of the Siege of Badajoz in Extremadura, Spain, on 6 April 1812. The Anglo-Portuguese forces, led by the Duke of Wellington, launch a daring assault against the French-held city, using ladders to scale the formidable walls. The smoke-filled scene is filled with a sense of danger and urgency, as soldiers from both sides engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat, using swords, rifles, and bayonets. The rocks at the base of the wall serve as a makeshift barrage, with soldiers throwing them at their enemies to gain an advantage. The attack from above was particularly deadly, resulting in the loss of many lives on both sides. The determination and bravery of the soldiers are palpable in this powerful image, as they risked everything to secure a strategic victory in the wider Peninsular War (1807-1814) against the French. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the intense and dangerous battles that defined the Peninsular War era.
