EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Colonel Francis Worgan Festing (1833-1886) of the Royal Marine Artillery at the age of 41, a time when he had already made a significant mark on military history. The image shows Colonel Festing with a full beard, dressed in the uniform of the Royal Marine Artillery. Colonel Festing's most notable achievement came in 1874, during the Anglo-Ashanti War, when he distinguished himself in the heroic rescue of the body of Lieutenant Eardley-Wilmot from the Ashantees at Dunquah. For his bravery and endeavors during this campaign, he was awarded the Order of the Bath and the Order of St. Michael and St. George. The Order of the Bath is a British chivalric order founded by King George I in 1725, and the Order of St. Michael and St. George is a British order of chivalry founded by King George IV in 1818. Both orders are given in recognition of distinguished services rendered to the Sovereign or to the United Kingdom. Colonel Festing's heroism at Dunquah was just one of many accomplishments in his military career. He joined the Royal Marine Artillery in 1852 and saw action in various campaigns throughout his career, including the Crimean War and the Abyssinian Expedition. He rose through the ranks, becoming a colonel in 1872. This photograph is a testament to Colonel Festing's courage and dedication to his country. It is a valuable historical record of a remarkable military figure, and a reminder of the important role the Royal Marine Artillery played in defending the British Empire during the late 19th century.
