EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the intensity and bravery of the French soldiers during the assault on the Malakoff Redan, a key fortification held by the Russian army during the Crimean War on September 8, 1855. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a major European conflict fought between Russia and an alliance of Western European nations, including France and Britain, over Russian expansion into the Ottoman Empire. The Malakoff Redan, located in the outskirts of Sevastopol, was a formidable fortification that the French and British forces had been attempting to capture for months. In this photograph, French soldiers are seen scaling the outer walls of the redan using ladders, with others providing covering fire from below. The determination and focus on the faces of the soldiers is palpable, as they risked their lives to advance against the Russian defenders. The Crimean War was a pivotal moment in military history, marked by significant advancements in military technology and tactics. This photograph offers a glimpse into the brutal realities of warfare during this era, as well as the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers involved. The successful capture of the Malakoff Redan was a turning point in the war, leading to the eventual fall of Sevastopol and the Russian defeat.
