1. Title: "Lieutenant General Sir De Lacy Evans, GCB, M.P.: A Veteran Commander of the Eastern Campaigns" This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of Lieutenant General Sir De Lacy Evans, GCB, M.P., a renowned British military leader who played a pivotal role in the Eastern Theatre of the Crimean War (1853-1856). The photograph, taken in 1855, presents Sir De Lacy Evans in his full dress uniform, exuding an air of authority and experience. Born on July 24, 1795, in County Limerick, Ireland, Evans joined the British Army in 1810, and his military career spanned over four decades. He saw action in the Peninsular War against Napoleon Bonaparte, earning the nickname "Old Bearnese" for his bravery at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. During the Crimean War, Sir De Lacy Evans commanded the British 2nd Division and was instrumental in the successful defense of the Alma River against the Russian forces in September 1854. He later led the British forces in the Battle of Inkerman, where they repelled a fierce Russian assault. The Ottoman Empire, allied with Britain and France against Russia, appointed Sir De Lacy Evans as their commander-in-chief for the Eastern Theatre in 1855. He successfully defended the besieged city of Sevastopol, ultimately contributing to the Allied victory in the Crimean War. Sir De Lacy Evans' military prowess earned him numerous accolades, including the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (GCB) and a seat in the British Parliament. His legacy as a decorated military leader and a key figure in the Crimean War endures, making this portrait a significant historical document. This three-quarter length portrait, taken in 1855, is a testament to Sir De Lacy Evans' illustrious military career and his pivotal role in the Eastern Campaigns of the Crimean War.
