The War in Schleswig: Danish prisoners on the road to Rendsburg after the Battle of Over-Selk, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The War in Schleswig: Danish prisoners on the road to Rendsburg after the Battle of Over-Selk - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. 'No exact account can be given of the Danish loss. Many dead and wounded were left upon the field, about 100 prisoners were brought in, and a gun was captured in the advance by the 18th Jager battalion...The country between Breckendorf and Over-Selk was of the bleakest and most inhospitable description...Hedges there were none, as the Danes had cut down what few there existed previously to their retreat. The villages and farmhouses are few in number and at wide distances from each other...The snow lay an inch and a half deep on the ground when we arrived, and the temperature was not a degree above zero. As we afterwards learnt from the officers and men themselves, the privations they had undergone from Tuesday to Thursday were fearful in the extreme...The army had brought not a single tent with it, and in this wintry weather the men had had to pass three nights in the open air while it was constantly snowing, raining, or freezing, and without the small comfort of even a camp fire in many instances'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
