The War in the Herzegovina: sketches by our special artist, 1876. '...some ordinary incidents and habits of campaigning life during the irregular warfare of the past six months in those rugged highlands: sketching and writing under difficulties; grinding coffee; weighing wine; a drink of water; firing heard, is it safe to advance?; is the road clear; a hare shot before a Turkish fortress...It is now to be expected that hostilities between the Turks and the insurgents of Herzegovina will be stopped very shortly, for the Sultan actually signed...a document consenting to the scheme of conciliation proposed by the Austrian Government with the approval of the other great Powers...The whole Turkish force in Herzegovina available for active operations does not exceed 8000 men, who are unpaid and badly fed. On the side of the insurgents there are many scattered bands...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
