EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we witness a significant moment in British history as Queen Victoria bestows Crimean Medals upon the brave soldiers who fought gallantly during the Russo-Turkish War of 1853-1856. The scene unfolds at Horse Guards, London on 18 May 1856, where Her Majesty stands resplendent in her regal attire. The focus of this image is Sir Thomas Troubridge, a true embodiment of courage and sacrifice. Despite losing his right leg and left foot during the fierce battle at Inkermann, Troubridge's unwavering dedication to duty has earned him not only a decoration but also an esteemed position as Queen Victoria's aide-de-camp. As the Queen presents him with the medal, one can sense the profound respect and admiration she holds for this valiant soldier. The determination etched on Troubridge's face reflects his unwavering commitment to serving his country even in the face of adversity. This poignant snapshot encapsulates both bravery and royalty intertwined within its frame. It serves as a testament to all those who selflessly risked their lives for their nation during that tumultuous period. Through this photograph, UIG allows us to glimpse into an era when honor and duty were paramount values upheld by both monarchs and subjects alike.
