The artist, William Heysham Overend, skillfully captures the intensity and drama of this confrontation. The tribal warriors of the Black Soudanese Battalion are shown fearlessly charging towards their adversaries with unwavering determination.

The composition highlights both the bravery and strategic prowess of these soldiers as they execute a reverse attack on their unsuspecting foes. This unexpected move not only showcases their military acumen but also emphasizes their resilience in facing formidable opposition.
