EDITORS COMMENTS
This photolithograph, published by Rudolf Ackermann in 1851, depicts the Charge of the 14th (The King's) Light Dragoons at the Battle of Ramnuggur during the Second Sikh War in 1848. The image, created by Henry Martens and colorfully rendered by J. Harris, captures the intensity and bravery of the British cavalry charge. The 14th Light Dragoons, also known as the "Brighton Volunteers," were a renowned regiment in the British Army, established in 1837 and disbanded in 1862. The Battle of Ramnuggur took place on November 22, 1848, and was a significant engagement during the Second Sikh War, a conflict between the British East India Company and the Sikh Empire. The Charge of the Light Dragoons at Ramnuggur was a decisive moment in the battle, as the cavalry unit charged against the Sikh infantry, breaking their lines and securing a victory for the British forces. The photolithograph beautifully captures the scene, with the Light Dragoons in their distinctive red coats and white trousers, charging towards the enemy with swords drawn. The chaos and intensity of the battle are evident in the faces of the soldiers and the swirling clouds of dust and smoke. The image is a testament to the courage and skill of the Light Dragoons and their role in British military history.
