Framed Print of The Ashantee War: the last in Coomassie, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The Ashantee War: the last in Coomassie, 1874. The British Army in West Africa - an incident...on the day our troops left Coomassie [ie Kumasi], Feb. 6, having first set fire to the town. Great care had been taken to drive out all the people from the houses, which were thoroughly searched before kindling the conflagration. But there was one little boy, a child of seven years, who had lost sight of his parents or friends, and was met wandering about alone. He was kindly taken care of by the English sailors and soldiers until the hour came when they were ordered to march out of the city. They would gladly have carried the child with them...trusting to the chance of some opportunity, if the King sent messengers suing for peace, to send back this little fellow in safety. But the boy refused to go with them; and it was considered that if he were left at Coomassie...his friends might come and find him when the army was gone. So they gave him plenty of food, and left him in the middle of the wide street. We trust that he escaped all harm, and that his parents soon came back to find him amidst the ruins. Our Artist's sketch of the parting scene represents the last few lingerers of our soldiery trying in vain to coax the poor child to follow them'. From Illustrated London News, 1874.
