The Revolution in Sicily - Sicilian skirmishers attacking the advanced posts of the... 1860. Creator: Unknown

The Revolution in Sicily - Sicilian skirmishers attacking the advanced posts of the Neapolitans on the left flank at Melazzo - from a sketch by our special artist, 1860. The road, which at first sight seemed to be the most difficult point, proved easier than the rest, for there, at any rate, one could see the adversary and his movements. The only tactics possible under these circumstances were to push on the road...and, on the other hand, to make a bold push through the cover, unmindful of losses, to gain the rear of the enemy's position on the road. The heavy losses which such an unequal fight entailed on the attacking forces, as well as the necessity to encounter some flanking movement, which the enemy could easily execute without being seen, reduced very early the number of the reserve'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
