EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished visage of General Lord George Augustus Frederick Paget (1818-1880), a British soldier of great renown who earned his place in history during the Crimean War. Born into the noble Paget family, Lord George served in the British Army with unwavering dedication and bravery. During the Crimean War, Lord George took part in the fateful event known as the Charge of the Light Brigade, an ill-fated cavalry charge against the Russian forces on 25 October 1854. Despite the disastrous outcome, Lord George's courage and leadership were commended, and he was decorated with several honors, including the Crimean Medal with two clasps and the Order of St. Vladimir. In this photograph, taken in 1877, Lord George's military career has come to a close, yet his legacy as a hero of the Crimean War endures. His piercing gaze and resolute expression speak volumes of the indomitable spirit that carried him through the battles of his youth. This evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when men like Lord George answered the call to arms and forever changed the course of history. Lord George Paget's story is a testament to the courage and determination of the British soldiers who fought in the Crimean War, and this photograph stands as a powerful tribute to their indomitable spirit.
