The Crimean Inquiry - Examination of the Earl of Lucan, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Crimean Inquiry - Examination of the Earl of Lucan, 1856. The Board of Inquiry, which was intended to whitewash the Crimean incapables, has commenced its sittings; and Lord Lucan [responsible for the fateful order during the Battle of Balaclava], who is the first on trial, began characteristically by wishing to have his case separated from the others. This was refused, and his Lordship has proceeded to "upset, " in his own opinion, the charges against him. But one of his witnesses is the very officer whom he threatened to arrest for remonstrance, and who adheres with great firmness to his original testimony. Lord Lucan has also abused the Times with great fervour, and these are the chief steps he has taken for his exculpation. We wrong him. He has also charged the Commissioners with ill feeling against him, which he seems to think a third and most convincing proof that he acted rightly'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts a pivotal moment in the aftermath of the Crimean War, specifically the Examination of the Earl of Lucan during The Crimean Inquiry in 1856. The Earl of Lucan, a British Army officer, was under scrutiny for his role in the fateful order during the Battle of Balaclava, which led to the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade. The Board of Inquiry was established to whitewash those responsible for the military blunders during the Crimean War. However, the Earl of Lucan, the first to be put on trial, sought to have his case heard separately from the others. His request was denied, leading him to attempt to "upset," in his own opinion, the charges against him. One of his witnesses was the very officer he had threatened to arrest for remonstrance, and who steadfastly adhered to his original testimony. The Earl of Lucan also lashed out at The Times newspaper and accused the Commissioners of ill feeling towards him, which he believed was further proof of his innocence. This photograph print is taken from an article in the Illustrated London News, which reported on the proceedings of the trial. The image offers a glimpse into the tense and dramatic atmosphere of the inquiry, with the Earl of Lucan's defiant posture and the stern expressions of the Commissioners. The photograph is a testament to the complex web of politics, power, and accountability that unfolded during the aftermath of the Crimean War.
