EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Campaigning in Upper Burma" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving, created by Marie, Adrien Emmanuel in 1887, showcases the intense military operations that unfolded during this campaign. The image transports us to the bustling streets of Upper Burma as soldiers from the 1st Bombay Lancers and the 23rd Bombay Light Infantry storm through. With surprise on their side, they strategically capture a fortified pagoda held by dacoits - armed rebels who opposed British rule. Colonel Heyland leads his company with utmost determination and intelligence, aided by paid spies who provided crucial information about the whereabouts of enemy forces. The scene is filled with action as horses gallop across water-filled landscapes while soldiers engage in combat. Meanwhile, Colonel Gatacre's camp at Phailingdan plays a vital role in coordinating efforts to bring down these dacoit camps. Lieutenant W. A. M Willson bravely leads his troops into battle against fierce resistance from both Burmans and dacoits alike. This engraving not only captures the intensity of warfare but also provides glimpses into Indian culture and Asian city life. It serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience displayed by both Indian and British forces during this turbulent time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation of this historical artwork, we can now appreciate its significance and gain insight into an important chapter in India's past.
