Major Percy Archer Butler: A Valiant Commander in the Crimean War This striking full-length portrait captures Major Percy Archer Butler, a distinguished officer of the 28th Regiment of Foot, also known as the 'Royal Welch Fusiliers,' during the Crimean War (1853-1856). The war was a significant conflict between the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and European powers, including the United Kingdom and France, over territorial disputes and political influence in the Eastern Mediterranean. Major Butler, dressed in his full regimental uniform, exudes an air of authority and confidence. He is seated, with one leg crossed over the other, and holds his sword at the ready. The conical tents in the background provide a stark contrast to the formal attire of the Major, symbolizing the harsh and rugged conditions of the Crimean Peninsula. Butler's military career began in 1838 when he joined the 28th Regiment as an ensign. He rose through the ranks, becoming a major in 1854. During the Crimean War, he served with distinction, particularly during the Battle of Inkerman in November 1854. His bravery and leadership were recognized with the award of the Crimean Medal with two clasps and the Order of the Bath. The Crimean War was a turning point in the history of the British and French Empires, as it marked the beginning of the end of their dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean. Major Butler's unwavering commitment to duty and his role in the conflict serve as a testament to the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought in this pivotal war.
