EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment during the Zulu Wars of 1879, as Queen Victoria bestows the prestigious Victoria Cross upon Lieutenant John Rouse Merriott Chard. The Victoria Cross is the highest military decoration awarded for valor in the face of the enemy in the British military, and Chard had earned this distinction through his heroic actions during the defense of Rorkes Drift. The scene takes place in a grand room, with Queen Victoria seated on her throne, dressed in her regal attire. Surrounded by officers and dignitaries, she presents the medal to Chard, who stands proudly before her, saluting. The gravity of the moment is palpable, as the Queen recognizes Chard's exceptional bravery and leadership during the Battle of Rorkes Drift. The battle had taken place just a few weeks earlier, on January 22, 1879, when Chard and a small garrison of British soldiers successfully defended the mission station against an attacking Zulu army numbering between 3,000 and 4,000 warriors. The fierce fighting lasted for hours, and Chard's quick thinking and determination played a crucial role in the British victory. This photograph is an important historical record of a pivotal moment in the Zulu Wars, and a testament to the bravery and resilience of the officers and soldiers who served under Queen Victoria. The image has been carefully preserved and is now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, providing a unique glimpse into the past.
