Pen and ink and watercolour by Captain (later Colonel) The Honourable William James Colville (1827-1903), Rifle Brigade, 1854 circa
The march from Kalamita Bay to Sevastopol proved a testing one for the British soldier. Men died in their hundreds from cholera. The landscape was parched and water scarce. As Colvilles drawing shows, it not take long for the soldier to adapt his dress to the conditions. The hated leather stock was discarded. Cast aside too was the Albert shako, to be replaced by the Kilmarnock bonnet, a soft forage cap.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "September 1854 On the March, Crimea" captures a significant moment in history during the Crimean War. Created by Captain William James Colville, this pen and ink watercolour painting provides a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by British soldiers during their march from Kalamita Bay to Sevastopol. In this artwork, we see how the soldiers had to adapt their dress to survive in such harsh circumstances. The landscape appears parched and barren, with water being scarce. As depicted by Colville, it didn't take long for the soldiers to discard their leather stocks and replace them with more practical attire. The despised Albert shako was replaced with the Kilmarnock bonnet, a softer forage cap that offered better comfort. This painting serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who fought in difficult terrains while battling diseases like cholera. It showcases their resilience and ability to adapt amidst adversity. Preserved at the National Army Museum in London, this artwork not only documents an important historical event but also highlights Captain Colville's artistic talent. Through his meticulous brushstrokes and attention to detail, he brings alive an era long past. As viewers engage with this image, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand what life was like for those on the frontlines of war – marching relentlessly towards an uncertain future.
