EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century. The image showcases the challenging conditions faced by the British military stationed in Suakim, Sudan. The soldiers are depicted wearing their wet and worn-out clothes as they seek shelter from a thunderstorm. In this scene, we witness the resilience of these brave men who have returned from a mission on their boats. They can be seen digging trenches and fortifying their position with sandbags under pouring rain. The Royal Engineers play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of the garrison against rebel attacks during such inclement weather. The artist skillfully captures both the chaos and determination within this print. Amidst flashes of lightning illuminating dark skies, one can spot a diver preparing for an underwater mission while others stand guard in anticipation of potential night attacks. This engraving not only highlights the harsh realities faced by soldiers but also serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to duty even amidst adverse conditions. It offers viewers a glimpse into history, showcasing how climate and meteorology played significant roles in military operations during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon the sacrifices made by those serving in distant lands over a century ago.
