EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned British photographer Roger Fenton in 1855 during the Crimean War, depicts Major Adolphus Burton and twelve officers of the 5th Dragoon Guards. The image was part of an exhibition showcased at the Gallery on St. James Street in Piccadilly, London. Major Burton, identified by the distinctive red tunic and gold braid on his shoulders, is seen in the center of the photograph, surrounded by his officers. Dr. Cattell, Lieutenant Montgomery, Lieutenant Hampton, Lieutenant Ferguson, Major Inglis, Captain Godman, Captain Halford, Lieutenant Burnand, and Quartermaster Bewley are all present, each wearing different uniform styles reflecting their various roles within the regiment. The officers appear in a relaxed and informal setting, perhaps during a break from military duties, suggesting a sense of camaraderie and unity. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a significant conflict in British history, pitting the British Empire against the Russian Empire. The 5th Dragoon Guards, also known as the "Northumberland Fusiliers," played a crucial role in the war, participating in several key battles, including the Battle of Balaklava and the Siege of Sevastopol. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the men who served and sacrificed during this pivotal period in history.
