The War in the Herzegovina: the Battle of January 26...1876. Creator: Unknown

The War in the Herzegovina: the Battle of January 26, from a sketch by a correspondent of the "Rousski Mir", 1876. It is considered worthy of remark that the insurgent bands were able to hold their position in a level country, and upon the road which was absolutely necessary to the existence of the Turkish army. They held it for two weeks against that army, which had gone into winter quarters within ten miles of the insurgent positions...the troops engaged in the battle of the 26th comprised battalions of the Sultan's Guard and the elite of the Albanian troops...a fact which shows how the army is being used up to sustain this struggle. The fact that they were recently marched into Herzegovina by Sienitza, through the destructive inclemency of the present winter in that high and desolate region, indicates what these reinforcements are costing the Turkish empire'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
