Journalists Pierre de Monteverde and Melton Prior in the Balkans. 'The road was, at times, very dangerous, so we were obliged to hire an escort of Herzegovinians for protection...Travelling in the mountains is very slow and hard work, but, nevertheless, in five days we had traversed about one hundred miles into the interior, at times going up a mountain 6000 feet to 7000 feet above the level of the sea, then descending...and at the end of a hard day's work...wet through to the skin, had to sleep on the hard, and sometimes also wet, ground...The sketch represents us on our fourth day, when we had our full complement of fighting men, and, having tired out our horses...finishing the dreary day's march on foot...'.
