The Ashantee War: arrivals at the North Gate, Cape Coast Castle...sketch by our special artist, 1874. 'The Illustration of "Fresh Arrivals " outside the north gate of Cape Coast Castle needs but a word of explanation. These black fellows lolling on the bench, with the muskets laid before them with which they are to be armed, are the Kossoo allies of Sir Garnet Wolseley's expedition. An English officer, with the interpreter at his right hand, is making out a list of the native soldiery, and, perhaps, giving them orders. Our Artist remarks, with scrupulous moderation, "They are expected to be of great service and use in this war, but they scarcely look what one would expect of fighting men".' From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
