EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Officers and Men of the 23rd Fusiliers in their Ordinary Uniform and as equipped for the Gold Coast" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles Robinson, it showcases the brave soldiers of the 23rd Fusiliers during the Third Anglo-Ashanti War. The image depicts two distinct scenes side by side. On one hand, we see these valiant men dressed in their everyday uniforms, standing tall with pride. Their stern expressions reveal their dedication and commitment to duty. On the other hand, we witness them fully prepared for battle on the Gold Coast, wearing specialized equipment that emphasizes their readiness for combat. Amongst this group of warriors are various mascots that add an intriguing touch to the composition. Notably, a pair of goats accompany these soldiers – perhaps serving as symbols of resilience and adaptability amidst challenging circumstances. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 6th, 1873 – a testament to its historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into military life during this period while highlighting both individuality and unity within this regiment. With its rich details and vivid portrayal of these officers and men from different backgrounds coming together under one cause, this print serves as a powerful reminder of bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who serve our nations.
