The War in the Herzegovina: insurgents surprising a Turkish convoy...1876. Creator: Unknown

The War in the Herzegovina: insurgents surprising a Turkish convoy, from a sketch by our special artist, 1877. 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. It was necessary to concentrate all the available Turkish forces in the province to drive 2000 insurgents off that road - ill-provided, ill-armed, ill-organised men, only disciplined by continual combat. Such was the Herzegovinian band opposed to an army which various statements put at a figure between 6000 and 8000, with a crowd of irregulars, eight guns, and half a dozen pashas'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
