EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the Crimean War, a foraging party of Allied soldiers is depicted after their successful landing at Kerch in July 1855. The soldiers, weary from the rigors of battle and the long journey, are shown in a humorous light as they engage in the essential task of securing food for their troops. Amidst the rugged terrain and rocky shoreline, the men are seen catching poultry and pigs, their expressions a mix of concentration and relief. One soldier proudly holds up a rooster, while another carefully cradles a piglet. The scene is reminiscent of a family outing, with the soldiers working together to provide sustenance for their comrades. The soldiers are armed with weapons, including rifles and guns, but their focus is on securing provisions. Water bottles and canteens are visible, indicating the importance of hydration in their survival. The image, published in Cassell's Illustrated Paper in the 1850s, captures the spirit of resourcefulness and camaraderie that sustained the Allied forces during the Crimean War. The foraging party at Kerch serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of military life during wartime. Despite the challenges, the soldiers persevered, relying on their ingenuity and teamwork to survive and ultimately, emerge victorious.
