EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "Hardships in the Camp" we are transported back to a time of struggle and resilience. The image captures Colonel Lowe and Captains Brown and George, members of the Dragoon Guards during the Crimean War, amidst their harsh living conditions. The soldiers appear worn out, their uniforms tattered and shabby. Yet despite the hardships they face daily near Sebastopol, they find solace in moments of relaxation. One captain is seen pouring a jug of what seems to be a much-needed beverage while another enjoys his pipe, filling the air with smoke. Inside their humble hut, these brave men take respite from battle as they gather around for a meal. Their rations may be meager but it is evident that even in such dire circumstances, camaraderie prevails. They dine together with determination etched on their faces - a testament to their unwavering spirit. This albumen print from wet collodion negative by Roger Fenton beautifully captures not only the physical toll war takes on its soldiers but also showcases their ability to find comfort amidst adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Displayed at Victoria & Albert Museum in London as part of The Stapleton Collection, this photograph stands as an enduring symbol of strength and perseverance against all odds.
