The War in Denmark: sketch of the Redoubts Nos. 4, 5, 6, and 7 at Düppel, showing the Danish and the Prussian outpost sentries - from a sketch taken on the Ruhenberg Hill, by our special artist, 1864. '...since the 17th of March, Ruhenberg Hill, which is not more than half a mile from the nearest of the Danish redoubts..., has been in possession of the Prussians...The Düppel Windmill and the Redoubts, which are on the brow of the hill, are here seen from the west...In the foreground are four of the Prussian soldiers, who lie under the cover of a low bank of earth, which has been thrown up to protect them from the Danish fire. The hedge that traverses the middle is also lined with Prussians, and they are posted in twos and threes across the field beyond. The Danes, in like manner, by twos and threes, with regular intervals between each station, occupy the next field a little higher up the hill. The hostile outposts are within easy musket-shot of each other. We see the high road to Sonderburg, with its telegraph posts, ascending the hill...This is the ground where the unsuccessful Prussian attack...[on] the Redoubt No. 6, but were repulsed three several times by the fire of the Danish batteries'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
