The year is 1855, and the scene is set against the backdrop of the rugged Crimean landscape. Among the officers depicted are Captain J.L. Croker, Lieutenant R.E. Williams, Lieutenant E.J. Lees, Lieutenant Cecil M. Pherson (lying down), Lieutenant W.D. Tompson, Brigadier-General P.M. Pherson, Lieutenant F.W. Lukin, Captain D.L. Colthurst, Captain R.J.R. O'Conor (sitting), Lieutenant A.P. Traherne, Captain William Gordon, Captain A.M. Kinstry, Lieutenant Boyde, Lieutenant R. Smyth (sitting), and Captain C.H.J. Heigham. The officers are dressed in their full military regalia, each man exuding a sense of pride and determination. Some sit casually on the grass, while others stand at attention, their eyes fixed on the camera lens. The group is led by Brigadier-General P.M. Pherson, who stands tall and confidently among his men. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Roger Fenton, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers during the Crimean War. It is a poignant reminder of the human element of war, showcasing the camaraderie and resilience of these officers in the face of adversity. The image was exhibited at the Gallery, corner of St. James Street, entrance, no. 162, Piccadilly, in 1856.
