General Williams, "The Hero of Kars" - from a family portrait, 1856. Portrait of William Fenwick Williams, British Army officer who fought in the Crimean War, showing '...the gallant officer in his then rank as Captain and Brevet Lieut-Colonel of Artillery. His features have since become much thinner, through the intense anxiety, and toil, and privation, inseparable from the nature of the services in which he has been continuously engaged since the dale of this portrait, 1848 - including, especially, the defence of Kars...[Fenwick Williams was imprisoned by the Russians]. By the last steamer from Constantinople we learn that General Williams has been sent off to Moscow, where he will remain a prisoner, most probably, till the preliminaries of peace are signed'. Engraving after a painting by Brevet Lt-Colonel O'Halloran, of the Winchester Depot Battalion, brother-in-law of General Williams. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
