EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print depicts the Official List of Killed and Wounded from the Battle of the Alma, fought on September 20, 1854, during the Crimean War. The allied forces, consisting of the United Kingdom, France, and the Ottoman Empire, suffered a total of 4,103 casualties, with approximately 5,000 Russian losses. The Battle of the Alma was a pivotal moment in the war, as the allied troops successfully carried a formidable Russian position, defended by large masses of infantry and a powerful artillery. In the aftermath of the battle, Lord Raglan, the Commander of the British forces, addressed his troops, expressing his gratitude for their "unrivalled efforts" and "gallant exertions." He warmly reported their victory to Queen Victoria and expressed his sincere condolences for the loss of "so many gallant officers and brave men." The list of names on this print serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of war. This poignant image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854, offers a glimpse into the aftermath of a significant military engagement and the sacrifices made by the soldiers on the battlefield.
