The March Past, Battle of Kinburn, 17 October 1855: A Stirring Moment from the Crimean War This evocative image captures the essence of military might and determination during the Crimean War (1853-1856). The scene depicts the British and French forces preparing for the attack on the Russian fortifications at Kinburn, located on the Dnieper River in Ukraine. The date is 17 October 1855. The photograph shows a long line of soldiers, horses, and artillery pieces making their way forward in a disciplined march past the camera. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms of the era, display a range of emotions - some focused and determined, others tense and anxious. Horses prick up their ears, sensing the imminent clash of arms. The Battle of Kinburn was a significant engagement in the Crimean War, which saw the Allied forces of Britain, France, and Sardinia attempt to break the Russian blockade of the Black Sea. The battle ended in a decisive victory for the Allies, who were able to secure control of the Dnieper River and open up a vital supply route. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of military conflict and strategic importance. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the 1850s and the pivotal role that the Crimean War played in shaping European history.
