General Sir F. S. Roberts, Bart. (Dress during the Burmah Expedition), c1890s, (1901). Portrait of Sir Frederick, 1st Earl Roberts (1832-1914), one of the foremost British military figures of Victorian times. Awarded the Victoria Cross in 1858 for his actions during the Indian Mutiny, Roberts is best known for his march to capture Kandahar during the Second Afghan War of 1878-1880. He was made Baron of Kandahar and Waterford in 1892 and promoted to Field Marshal in 1895. Roberts commanded the reinforcements sent to South Africa in 1900 after the setbacks of the early part of the Boer War. After his successful intervention in the South African campaign, he returned to England to become Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, a position which he held until 1904, when he retired from the army. From " The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts, Vol. III. - To The End of Lord Robertss Indian Career", by J. Maclaren Cobban. [T. C. & E. C. Jack, Edinburgh, 1901]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures General Sir F. S. Roberts, Bart. , dressed in his attire during the Burmah Expedition in the 1890s. Sir Frederick, 1st Earl Roberts, was a prominent figure in British military history during the Victorian era. His bravery and leadership were recognized when he was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions during the Indian Mutiny in 1858. However, it was his march to capture Kandahar during the Second Afghan War of 1878-1880 that brought him widespread fame. As a result of this successful campaign, he was made Baron of Kandahar and Waterford in 1892 and promoted to Field Marshal three years later. In 1900, following setbacks at the beginning of the Boer War, Roberts commanded reinforcements sent to South Africa. His intervention proved crucial to turning the tide of the conflict towards Britain's favor. After returning from South Africa as a celebrated hero, Roberts assumed command as Commander-in-Chief of the British Army until his retirement in 1904. This portrait showcases General Sir F. S. Roberts' distinguished career and highlights his significant contributions to British military endeavors around the world. It is an enduring testament to one of Britain's most revered military figures who left an indelible mark on history through his strategic brilliance and unwavering dedication to duty.
