EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the Crimean War, Colonel George Clarke of the Scots Greys is depicted in a full-length portrait, standing beside his wounded horse, Sultan, at the encampment of Balaklava in 1855. The Colonel, dressed in his military uniform, faces left, his expression one of determination and resolve. The horse, branded with the mark "2D" on its rump, signifying its affiliation with the 2nd Dragoons, appears weary but alert, its wound evident in the blood staining its side. A man, possibly a servant, holds the reins of the horse, adding a sense of urgency and care to the scene. The backdrop of the encampment, with its rows of tents and the distant sea, underscores the military setting and the larger context of the Eastern Crisis and the conflict between the Russian and British-French Empires. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a significant turning point in European history, with far-reaching consequences for international relations and the balance of power in Europe and beyond. This poignant image of Colonel Clarke and his wounded horse serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the indomitable spirit of those who fought in it.
