EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Colonel Doherty and his men of the 13th Light Dragoons during the Crimean War in 1855. The scene is set against a backdrop of tents and huts, suggesting the temporary nature of their encampment. Colonel Doherty, dressed in his full military regalia, stands proudly amongst his officers and men. Cornet Danzil Chamberlayne and Captain Jenyns, both in uniform, are seen engaging in conversation with the Colonel. The presence of the veterinary-surgeon, Thomas Towers, indicates the importance of maintaining the health and wellbeing of the regiment's horses, essential for the mobility and effectiveness of the Light Dragoons. One soldier is seated on the ground with his dog, adding a sense of humanity and companionship to the image. The Crimean War, fought between the Eastern powers of Russia and the Western powers of Britain, France, and the Ottoman Empire, was a significant conflict in the mid-19th century. The British and French forces, united under the British Empire, sought to protect the Ottoman Empire from Russian expansion. The 13th Light Dragoons, part of the British army, played a crucial role in this war, demonstrating their skill and bravery on the battlefield.
