EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - "The Indian Frontier War, 1897: The storming of the Dargai Ridge by the Gordon Highlanders". Taken during the Tirah Campaign on October 20,1901, it showcases the fierce fighting between British troops and Afridi tribesmen on the North-West Frontier. Amidst this chaotic scene, one brave figure stands out - piper George Findlater. Despite being wounded, Findlater continued to play his bagpipes to encourage his battalion's advance. His unwavering determination and musical prowess earned him one of four Victoria Crosses awarded after this intense battle. Richard Caton Woodville Jr. , an acclaimed artist for The Illustrated London News, skillfully captured this dramatic moment in time. The composition highlights not only the bravery of these soldiers but also their distinctive Scottish attire with kilts proudly worn. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when courage knew no bounds and loyalty was steadfast. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their country and defended its borders. This print is part of "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII. And the Life of Queen Alexandra" published in London in 1901. Its inclusion within this collection underscores its significance as an enduring testament to valorous acts that shaped our world.
