The engraving, created by William Heysham Overend and published in The Illustrated London News on 28 December 1878, offers a glimpse into this tumultuous period. The image transports us to a rugged road leading towards Ali Musjid, an important strategic point during the war. As we observe the scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to majestic elephants marching alongside military personnel. These magnificent creatures were not only used for transportation but also played a crucial role in combat. The composition showcases various elements of warfare with cannons and weapons prominently displayed.
