Framed Print of The Ashantee War - the return from Coomassie: crossing a river...sketch by our special artist, 1874. Creator: Unknown
The Ashantee War - the return from Coomassie [ie Kumasi]: crossing a river, from a sketch by our special artist, 1874. Third Anglo-Ashanti War - the British Army in West Africa. The return march from Coomassie was a most critical operation, for the country is intersected with rivers, which were hourly rising and threatening to become impassable from the tremendous and continuous storms of rain beginning on the 5th, the day after Coomassie was entered by our troops. It was this emergency that caused the hasty departure of Sir Garnet on the 6th from the Ashantee capital; all the more because it was coupled with the apprehension of sickness among them from the malaria that is always engendered by the commencement of the rainy season in a tropical ciimite...'The streams and rivers had become so swollen, from the effect of the tornadoes of the last few days, that the shallow swamps had become waist-deep. The water in the river Ordah had...submerged the bridge constructed on the night of the 3rd March, and was still rising...But the convoys were all taken over in safety; and the men of the Rifle Brigade and 42nd Regiment...undressed, passed their clothes over the heads of natives, and themselves forded the stream, in one part fully 5 ft. deep'.
