EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Ashantee War, the Return Home, Arrival of the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers at Portsmouth" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the jubilant celebrations that unfolded on the streets of Portsmouth in 1874 as the brave soldiers returned home from their victorious campaign. As we delve into this snapshot of time, our eyes are drawn to a sea of exuberant faces lining the streets. The atmosphere is electric with joy and relief as families eagerly await their loved ones' return. The crowd's anticipation is palpable; they have endured months of anxiety and worry during this conflict known as the Anglo-Ashanti Wars. In sharp focus stands a group of gallant soldiers from the 23rd Royal Welsh Fusiliers, proudly marching through Portsmouth's thoroughfares. Their uniforms bear witness to their valiant efforts in battle, while their weary yet determined expressions reflect both physical exhaustion and an indomitable spirit. The scene captures not only a military triumph but also serves as a testament to human resilience and unity. It reminds us that even amidst times of turmoil and strife, communities come together to celebrate those who risked everything for peace and freedom. Preserved through this enchanting print by English School artists from the 19th century, this historical moment continues to captivate viewers today. It serves as a poignant reminder that heroes deserve recognition for their sacrifices – both on distant battlefields and within our own hearts.
