"The Third Anglo-Ashanti War: A Tale of Triumph and Tragedy" In the wake of the Ashantee War, Her Majesty Queen Victoria took it upon herself to review the troops returning home from this arduous conflict. The grandeur of Windsor Great Park set the stage for this momentous occasion, as soldiers marched past with pride in their hearts and victory etched on their faces. Not only did Her Majesty honor the land forces, but she also paid tribute to the brave sailors who formed part of the Ashantee Naval Brigade. At Gosport, she reviewed them with great admiration as they paraded before her eyes. These blue jackets had played a vital role in defending British interests along the Gold Coast. Amongst those officers who fought valiantly during this war were immortalized in engravings that captured their courage and leadership. Their unwavering commitment to duty was evident as they stood tall amidst adversity. The Review of the Ashantee Naval Brigade witnessed a historic moment when Her Majesty passed down through ranks filled with men who had risked their lives for king and country. It was an unforgettable sight that symbolized unity and resilience against a formidable enemy. Yet, not all images depicted moments of triumph or celebration. Engravings such as "Last Notes from the Gold Coast" served as poignant reminders of lives lost during this conflict – a stark reminder that war carries both glory and sorrow hand-in-hand. The Third Anglo-Ashanti War left its mark on history through various depictions captured by artists' hands. From scenes showcasing destruction like "Destruction of Villages Ampenee and Akimfoo" to significant events like "Occupation of Coomassie, " these engravings tell tales beyond words could express alone. One engraving titled "Arrival of Naval Brigade in Camp at Prah-Su" encapsulated hope amidst chaos – a testament to human resilience even in dire circumstances.
