EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Camp of the 4th (The Queens Own Light) Dragoons in 1855 during the Crimean War. Taken by renowned photographer Roger Fenton, this image showcases the regiment's campsite with soldiers going about their daily activities. The 4th Dragoons were deployed to Crimea under the leadership of Brevet-Colonel Lord George Paget, who famously led them into the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava on October 25,1854. It is said that Lord Paget was seen smoking a cheroot as he bravely led his men into battle. In this photograph, we get a glimpse into life at their campsite amidst war-torn surroundings. Tents are scattered across an open field while soldiers can be seen engaged in various tasks such as cooking, cleaning weapons, and tending to horses. This image not only provides historical insight into military life during one of history's most significant conflicts but also highlights the resilience and camaraderie among these brave soldiers. The monochromatic tones add a sense of nostalgia and authenticity to this remarkable piece. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London, this photograph serves as a testament to both Roger Fenton's skillful photography and the valor displayed by those who served in The Queens Own Light Dragoons during this tumultuous period in history.
