EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Captain Morgan, Rifle Corps: ADC to General Bernard on Coxcomb, the Winner of the Crimean Races, 1855" This evocative image captures the essence of the Crimean War (1853-1856) as British and French forces clashed with the Russian Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean. The photograph features Captain Morgan, a distinguished officer of the Rifle Corps, serving as Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to General Bernard. He is depicted on Coxcomb, the victorious horse from the Crimean races, with the reins in his left hand and a determined look on his face as he gazes off to the left. The Crimean War was a significant conflict between European powers, with the British and French allied against the Russian Empire. The war saw intense fighting in the Crimean Peninsula, particularly at the Battle of Balaklava and the Siege of Sevastopol. The Crimean races were a popular diversion for the soldiers during their downtime, with the winners often receiving prized horses as rewards. Captain Morgan's horse, Coxcomb, is adorned with a distinctive red and gold plaid blanket, signifying his status as the winner. The background of the photograph is filled with the bustling activity of camp life, with soldiers and officers milling about in the background. The British and French flags flutter in the wind, symbolizing the imperial might of the European powers. Captain Morgan's uniform bears the insignia of the Rifle Corps, a specialized infantry unit known for their long-range rifles and distinctive green jackets. The Grenadier Guards' property, Barnard, is also present in the image, standing nearby with a proud expression. The combination of military prowess, horsemanship, and the thrill of competition is encapsulated in this striking photograph, offering a glimpse into the lives of the soldiers who fought in one of the most significant conflicts of the 19th century.
