Butler Crimean Regiment Reverend Officers Ottoman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking full-length portrait, dated 1855, captures Reverend Mr. Butler and four officers of the esteemed 47th Regiment. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of the Eastern Crimean War, a significant conflict in the late 19th century that involved the British, French, and Ottoman empires, as well as Russia. Reverend Mr. Butler, dressed in his clerical attire, stands proudly among his military counterparts. His presence among the officers underscores the strong connection between the Church and the military during this era. The Reverend's role extended beyond spiritual guidance, as he also provided moral support and tended to the wounded and sick soldiers. The four officers, all dressed in their full regalia, exude an air of authority and discipline. The 47th Regiment, also known as the "Lancashire Fusiliers," was a renowned infantry regiment of the British Army. Their uniforms, adorned with intricate details and insignia, reflect the pride and tradition of the regiment. The officers' stern expressions and their collective gaze towards the viewer convey a sense of determination and resolve. The backdrop of the portrait, featuring a serene sea scene, adds a touch of tranquility to the otherwise intense and powerful image. This portrait offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these men during a pivotal moment in history. The Eastern Crimean War marked the end of the Russian Empire's expansionist ambitions and solidified the British and French dominance in the region. The image of Reverend Mr. Butler and the officers of the 47th Regiment stands as a testament to their courage, dedication, and the enduring bond between the Church and the military during times of war.
