EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tense moment during the Benin Expedition of 1897, as Captain Campbell's brigade brings up the rear in the advance on the town. The British military force, determined to reclaim the Benin Kingdom in Nigeria after a previous failed attempt, had encamped the night before, only to find themselves confronted by a large enemy force in the morning. With the sun rising over the African landscape, the soldiers march forward, their determined expressions etched on their faces. The dust kicked up by their feet mixes with the red soil, creating a stark contrast against their uniforms. The trees in the background seem to loom ominously, a reminder of the dense jungle that surrounds them. The air is thick with the anticipation of battle, as both sides prepare for a clash that will determine the fate of the Benin Kingdom. The 1890s were a time of intense colonial expansion, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the raw and unforgiving reality of military campaigns during this era. The bravery and resilience of Captain Campbell's brigade are on full display as they press forward, undeterred by the challenges that lie ahead.
