EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Brigadier General Philip Macpherson and Officers of the 4th Division during the Crimean War in 1855. The image, taken by renowned photographer Roger Fenton, showcases a group of distinguished military men standing together in their full-length military uniforms. Among them is Captain Arthur Earle, positioned second from the right, representing the 57th (West Middlesex) Regiment of Foot. This photograph was taken after the Battle of Inkerman in 1854 when casualties were devastatingly high. Despite his advanced age, Macpherson was entrusted with leading a brigade due to his exceptional leadership skills. The scene depicts an encampment where tents are visible in the background, giving us a glimpse into their temporary living quarters during this tumultuous time. Each officer wears a cap adorned with insignias that symbolize their rank and dedication to duty. This remarkable snapshot not only immortalizes these brave soldiers but also serves as a testament to their resilience and sacrifice during one of history's most significant conflicts. Preserved at the National Army Museum in London, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the valor displayed by these Victorian-era heroes who fought for their country with unwavering determination.
