Field Marshal Lord Roberts, affectionately known as Bobs, was a prominent figure in British military history. His legacy is marked by numerous events and achievements that shaped the course of his career. One notable depiction can be found in the 1900 Vanity Fair cartoon. This colourful lithograph captures his distinguished presence and highlights his influential role during this period. Another intriguing piece showcasing Lord Roberts is "An Ambuscade" from 1901, created by an unknown artist. This artwork portrays the challenges he faced on the battlefield, demonstrating his strategic prowess and resilience. The relief of Mafeking is another significant event associated with Lord Roberts' name. The image titled "Mafeking: Eloffs Desperate Attack on the Eve of Relief" (1901) showcases the intensity and desperation experienced during this critical moment. Lord Roberts' military expertise extended beyond South Africa to other historical battles such as Cawnpore in 1857. A sketch depicting this battle provides insight into his early experiences and demonstrates how these formative years influenced his later career choices. Interestingly, Cawnpore holds additional significance for Lord Roberts as it was also his birthplace in the 1820s. A captivating image titled "Cawnpore - Lord Robertss Birthplace" (1901) allows us to glimpse into his personal history while connecting it to his professional life. Moving away from specific events, we encounter Church Street in Pretoria through Donald E M Cracken's lens. This photograph offers a glimpse into one of many approaches to towns where Lord Roberts made an impact during various campaigns throughout South Africa. In terms of communication between key figures involved in conflicts, Mr Bennet Burleigh played a crucial role as a special correspondent for the "Daily Telegraph. " In one lithograph entitled "Mr Bennet Burleigh Bringing Field-Marshal Lord Roberts News, " we witness their collaboration and exchange of vital information, particularly the surrender of Bloemfontein.
