EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases Captain Hugh Johnson, a distinguished officer of the 26th Bengal Native Infantry in the mid-19th century. This exquisite miniature on ivory, created by Jivan Ram and housed at the National Army Museum in London, offers a glimpse into Johnson's remarkable military career. Born in 1805, Johnson began his service as an ensign to the 26th Bengal Native Infantry in March 1824. His dedication and skill led to rapid promotions, becoming a lieutenant in 1825 and eventually attaining the rank of captain in 1837. Notably, from 1838 to 1840, he served with distinction in the Pay and Commissariat Department of Shah Shujas army. During the tumultuous period of the First Afghan War (1838-1842), Captain Hugh Johnson played an active role. He participated valiantly in the Battle of Ghazni in 1839 but faced adversity when taken hostage by Afghan Chief Akbar Khan during Kabul Insurrection on January 11,1842. Thankfully released later that year, he resumed his duties until retiring as Lieutenant-Colonel in January 1850. This intricately detailed portrait captures not only Johnson's physical appearance but also reflects his unwavering commitment to duty amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to his bravery and resilience throughout his military tenure. As we admire this historical gem preserved through time, let us remember Captain Hugh Johnson's significant contributions to both British India's armed forces and our understanding of its rich history.
