The Ashantee War: arrival of the Naval Brigade in Camp at Prahsu - by our special artist, 1874. The Royal Navy in West Africa: '...the arrival of the naval brigade on the 3rd January, which was mentioned in our Special Artist's letter. They are dressed in coats of dark blue, with waist-belts, and three or four straps over the shoulders, to which are hung the water-bottles and filters, ammunition-pouches, and haversacks for their rations of food. They have with them a native boy, whom they picked up on the road. He wanted to go with, them to join his father and brother on the other side of the Prah. The English sailors took kindly to this little fellow, and he has become a pet amongst them'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
