EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic moment in time - the triumphant return of the troops from Ashantee. The image showcases the renowned 42nd Highlanders, also known as the Black Watch, marching proudly towards Governors Green in Portsmouth. The soldiers are depicted with unwavering determination and discipline as they make their way through the streets, their kilts swaying rhythmically to the beat of their synchronized steps. Their presence exudes strength and resilience, a testament to their bravery during the Anglo-Ashanti Wars. The scene is filled with an air of celebration and anticipation, as onlookers gather along the route to welcome back these valiant warriors. The atmosphere is electric with excitement and pride for these men who have fought tirelessly for their country. This engraving was originally created by an English artist in the 19th century for publication in The Illustrated London News. It serves as a powerful reminder of both historical events and military tradition. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to that momentous day when heroes returned home victorious. It stands as a tribute not only to those who served but also to all those who continue to defend our freedoms today.
