EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates the 'Glorious Gallantry' of the Middlesex Regiment, also known as the 'Die Hards,' during the Battle of Albuhera in the Peninsular War on May 16, 1811. The Middlesex Regiment, a part of the British Army, gained its regimental nickname due to their unyielding bravery and tenacity in the face of adversity. The scene depicts the Middlesex soldiers, with their distinctive red coats and white facings, advancing towards the enemy lines. Their faces are etched with determination and focus, their eyes fixed on the objective. The drummer, positioned at the front, beats a steady rhythm, urging his comrades forward. The regimental flag, bearing the emblem of St. George, flutters proudly above the troops. The Battle of Albuhera was a significant action in the Peninsular War, a protracted military conflict fought between 1808 and 1814, primarily in the Iberian Peninsula. The Middlesex Regiment played a pivotal role in this battle, holding their ground against overwhelming enemy forces and preventing a French victory. Their unwavering courage and resilience in the face of adversity earned them the enduring respect and admiration of their comrades and the British public. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the traditions and values that defined the British Army during the 1810s - courage, bravery, and unwavering commitment to duty. The image of the 'Die Hards' of the Middlesex Regiment, charging forward against the odds, continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day.
