This painting is a copy of the original by Gibb, completed in 2009 on a grand scale for the Officer's Mess of The Black Watch. It depicts the Battle of the Alma on 20th September 1854. The Battle is usually considered the first battle of the Crimean War and took place in the vicinity of the River Alma in the Crimea. An Anglo-French force defeated the Russian army, which lost around 6,000 troops.
