Légende

Captain W. F. Butler, 69th Regiment, on special service in the Ashantee Expedition, 1874. 'Major William Francis Butler...[has been promoted] to the rank of Major...He has also been rewarded with the honour of C. B. for his efforts, though circumstances made them unsuccessful, to bring up the West Akim native auxiliaries in aid of Sir Garnet Wolseley...the home-staying and reading English public is indebted to him...for two delightful books, "The Great Lone Land" and "The Wild North Land," which, we hope, will not be his last narratives of adventurous travel'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
