EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the stoic presence of Lieutenant Carey, a brave and distinguished soldier of the 2nd Rifle Brigade. The image, taken during the late 19th century, depicts Lieutenant Carey in his full military regalia, proudly wearing the distinctive green uniform of the 2nd Rifle Brigade. The photograph was taken during one of the Brigade's most notable campaigns - the Ashanti Campaign in 1874, and Lieutenant Carey's heroic exploits extend further back to the Zulu War, where he was present when Napoleon III's son, Prince Imperial, was tragically killed in battle. The 2nd Rifle Brigade, also known as the "Cherry Rifles," was a renowned and elite infantry regiment of the British Army, renowned for their marksmanship, discipline, and mobility. The Brigade's green uniform, which set them apart from other regiments, was made from a woolen fabric that provided excellent camouflage in various terrains, making them an effective force in both European and African campaigns. This photograph is a testament to the rich military history of the British Army in Africa during the late 19th century. Lieutenant Carey's unwavering gaze and impeccable uniform convey the dedication, courage, and professionalism of the soldiers who served in the 2nd Rifle Brigade during this era. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the history of military campaigns in Africa and the brave men who fought in them.
