EDITORS COMMENTS
Passage of the Issel (Ijssel), a river which runs through Germany and the Netherlands, by British troops, winter of 1794-1795. This evocative image captures the challenging conditions faced by British troops during their passage of the Issel River in the winter of 1794-1795. The Issel, which flows through both Germany and the Netherlands, was a significant obstacle for the British army as they advanced towards the Dutch city of Nijmegen during the French Revolutionary Wars. The soldiers are shown wading through the frozen river, leading their horses and wagons across the icy expanse. The horses, bundled up against the cold, pull the heavy wagons, their breath visible in the freezing air. The soldiers on horseback, dressed in heavy coats and fur hats, lead the way, their faces set with determination and grit. Snow falls gently in the background, adding to the sense of isolation and hardship. The passage of the Issel was a crucial moment in the campaign, as the successful crossing allowed the British army to continue their advance and eventually capture Nijmegen. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the soldiers, who faced the harsh winter conditions with courage and perseverance. This powerful image, taken from the 18th century, offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by armies during the Napoleonic era. The French Revolutionary Wars, which lasted from 1792 to 1802, saw numerous battles and campaigns across Europe, with armies facing a range of challenges, from harsh weather to difficult terrain. This image, taken during the winter of 1794-1795, offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this period of European history.
