The Ashantee War: the Camp of Mansu, on the road to the Prah, from a sketch by our special artist, 1874. The British Army in West Africa. 'There is news from the head-quarters of Major-General Sir Garnet Wolseley to the 26th January, when it was expected that the British troops would march into Coomassie [Kumasi] on the 23rd. Our Special Artist furnishes several Illustrations of the march from Cape Coast Castle to the banks of the river Prah. The stages and military road stations, in this distance of less than eighty miles, are Inquabim, Accroful, Dunquah, Mansu, Sutah, Yanccomassie, Assin, Barracoe, and Prah-su. Of these stations Dunquah, Mansu, and Prah-su are the most important... The camp at Mansu, which is forty-three miles from Cape Coast Castle, is the furthest point yet reached by the electric telegraph'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
