1787 Commons Crimea Depicted Evans Lacy Notably Receiving
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases Sir George De Lacy Evans (1787-1870), a distinguished British military commander who gained notoriety for his significant contributions during the Crimean War. Evans' career in the military began in 1803 when he joined the 1st Foot Guards. He rose through the ranks, demonstrating exceptional leadership and strategic acumen. During the Crimean War (1853-1856), Evans played a pivotal role in the defense of the besieged city of Sevastopol. His successful defense of the Malakoff Redan earned him the nickname "The Hero of the Malakoff." In recognition of his bravery and achievements, Evans was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1855. After the war, Evans returned to England as a national hero. In this photograph, he is depicted receiving the thanks of the House of Commons for his valiant efforts during the conflict. The image captures the moment of triumph and appreciation, with Evans standing proudly before the assembled members of Parliament. Sir George De Lacy Evans' military career spanned over five decades, and his contributions extended beyond the Crimean War. He served in the Peninsular War, the First Afghan War, and the Indian Mutiny. His legacy as a military commander continues to be celebrated in British military history.
