1850s 1854 Balcony Battalion Buckingham Crimea Crimean Departing Departure Farewell Fusilier Guards Leaving Scots Albert
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment of farewell as the first battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards prepared to depart for the Crimean War in 1854. The scene unfolds at Buckingham Palace, with the Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prince Alfred, and Princess Helena gathered on the balcony, bidding farewell to their loved ones and the brave soldiers who were about to embark on a dangerous journey. Dressed in their full military regalia, the soldiers of the Scots Fusilier Guards stood below, their faces a mix of determination and apprehension, as they bid their final goodbyes. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a significant conflict in British history, and the departure of the Scots Fusilier Guards marked the beginning of the British involvement in this complex and pivotal period. The image, taken in the 1850s, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and their families during times of war, and the unwavering support of the monarchy for their troops.
