The War in the Herzegovina: Battle of January 20....1876. Creator: Unknown

The War in the Herzegovina: Battle of January 20. from a sketch by the correspondent of the "Rousski Mir", 1876....the Turks gained a victory, but were not able to profit by it. The Turks, however, were about five times the number of the insurgents. The latter were, on the second day, formed across the road holding the two hillocks fortified by the Turks in the previous affair, with a left wing at right angles to this line and parallel to the road, and no right wing whatever, the principal position being the hillock on the right of the road, facing Trebinje. This hill was held by Peko, that on the other side by Simonics (Bogdan), and the left wing, composed of the men of Nevesinje and Zubei, by Tripko Vukalovics, nephew of the chief of the insurrectionary forces in 1862. The whole force was about 2000 men'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
