Colonel Henry Ridge leading the Stormers at Badajoz: A Moment of Valor and Determination during the Peninsular War In this evocative image from the 1810s, Colonel Henry Ridge of the Northumberland Fusiliers is depicted leading his men in a daring storming assault against the walls of Badajoz, Spain, during the Peninsular War in 1812. The Fighting Fifth, as the Northumberland Fusiliers were famously known, had earned their nickname through their fierce reputation on the battlefield. The scene captures the intensity and bravery of the soldiers as they scale the walls, using ladders and the flames below as their only cover against the enemy's gunfire. The determined look on Colonel Ridge's face and the focused gaze of his men convey the gravity of the moment and the importance of their mission. The Peninsular War, which lasted from 1808 to 1814, was a pivotal period in European history, with Spain fighting for its independence from Napoleon's French forces. The Northumberland Fusiliers, part of the British Army, played a significant role in the conflict, and their heroism at Badajoz is a testament to their unwavering commitment and courage. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and adversity, when the actions of brave men like Colonel Ridge and his soldiers shaped the course of history.
