EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Victoria Cross, the New Order of Valour for the Navy" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the heroic acts that took place during the Crimean War. The image showcases a moment of intense bravery as Lieutenant RMA, W. Johnstone, attempts to rescue his comrade while under heavy fire from enemy vessels. The scene is filled with action and tension as we see Lieutenant Johnstone seizing an opportunity to bring his friend, Mr. Odevaine, who has been taken prisoner by Russian forces, back to safety. Surrounding them are crew members of the Royal Navy's Lancaster Battery and Royal Marine Artillery, all displaying unwavering courage in their mission. Flags flutter in the background symbolizing unity and determination among these brave men who risked their lives for their country. Among them stands Commander G. F. Day, refusing to retreat despite facing overwhelming odds. This powerful depiction not only pays tribute to these valiant individuals but also highlights the importance of camaraderie and loyalty within military units. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by our armed forces throughout history. As we admire this historical artwork captured by an unknown English artist from centuries ago, it is impossible not to feel a sense of awe and gratitude towards those who have served their nations selflessly on land and at sea.
