EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Notes in the Black Mountain and Sikkim Campaigns, Northern India" takes us back to the 19th century when British forces were engaged in military campaigns against their enemies in the rugged terrains of northern India. The scene depicted showcases a moment of intense action and strategic retreat. In this print, we see General McQueen leading his troops as they navigate through treacherous landscapes with towering walls and steep cliffs. A senior subaltern is seen taking notes, capturing crucial information about enemy positions and movements. The River Sirun flows ominously nearby, adding an element of danger to the already tense atmosphere. The image offers a comprehensive view of the entire campaign, highlighting various elements such as the 2nd Brigade Black Mountain Expedition led by Brigadier General J. W. McQueen. Pioneers, doctors, captains, and other personnel are visible throughout the composition. Notably featured are Brigadier General W. Galbraith commanding Northumberland Fusiliers at Oghi Outpost and Goorkhas fording across Kotkai village. Tukola Hill stands tall in the distance while an ADC (Aide-de-Camp) observes from a vantage point. This engraving serves as both a historical record and a testament to the bravery and resilience displayed by British forces during these challenging campaigns in Northern India's unforgiving terrain. It provides viewers with insight into military strategies employed during that time period while also showcasing some of nature's most formidable obstacles faced by
