Embarkation of French Troops in English Vessels, at Calais, for the Baltic, 1854. Soldiers leaving France to fight in the Crimean War. At a very early hour on Saturday morning the troops were astir, breaking up their encampment and preparing to go on board. General Baraguey d'Hilliers arrived at the quay before eight o'clock, and conversed for some time with Captain Lefebvre, R.N. of her Majesty's steamer Dasher, to whom the arrangements for embarking the troops by means of a fleet of steamers, had been entrusted...This large fleet of steam-ships had been engaged with the object of precluding delay and confusion, and of effecting the embarkation in one comprehensive movement...Shortly before one o'clock the signal was given, and the different companies stepped on board the transports...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment of the Embarkation of French Troops in English Vessels at Calais, France, in 1854. The soldiers, a mix of men and women, bid farewell to their loved ones as they prepared to leave for the Baltic to fight in the Crimean War. The scene is bustling with activity as General Baraguey d'Hilliers converses with British naval officers, overseeing the arrangements for the embarkation. The large fleet of steamships, including the Dasher, were instrumental in ensuring a swift and orderly departure, with companies stepping aboard just before one o'clock. The soldiers, many of whom are seen carrying their belongings, board the transports with a sense of determination and resolve. The quay at Calais, filled with onlookers, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. This engraving was published in the Illustrated London News, offering a glimpse into the events leading up to the Crimean War and the sacrifices made by the soldiers and their families.
