Description

Archibald Forbes (17 April 1838 – 30 March 1900) was a Scottish war correspondent. On being invalided from the army in 1867, he started and ran with very little external aid a weekly journal called the London Scotsman (1867–1871). His chance as a journalist came when in September 1870 he was despatched to the siege of Metz by the Morning Advertiser (from which paper, however, his services were transferred after a short period to the Daily News). In all the previous reports from battlefields comparatively sparing use had been made of the telegraph.
