EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the essence of General Sir George Wentworth Alexander Higginson (1826-1927), a long-living British army general and Crimean War hero who served more than three decades in the Grenadier Guards. Born in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, Higginson rose through the ranks of the military, earning a reputation as a brave and capable soldier. In this image, Higginson is depicted in full military regalia, including his distinctive monocle and the sword of a general. The stern expression on his face conveys a sense of determination and focus, reflecting the unwavering commitment to duty that characterized his career. Higginson's military accomplishments were numerous, but he is perhaps best known for his role in the Crimean War. He served with distinction in the Siege of Sevastopol, where he was wounded several times but continued to lead his troops with courage and tenacity. For his bravery, he was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration in the British army. Throughout his long and distinguished career, Higginson remained a dedicated and respected figure in the military. He retired from active service in 1883, but continued to serve his country in various capacities until his death in 1927. This portrait, taken by an unknown photographer for Vanity Fair, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy as a soldier and a hero.
