Captured by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1901 during the Boer War, this colour chromolitho showcases the aftermath of a fierce battle. The image depicts members of the renowned British cavalry regiment, the 17th (The Duke of Cambridge's Own) Lancers, who bravely fought on South African soil. The soldiers are seen amidst a scene of devastation and loss, surrounded by wounded comrades and injured horses. Their weary faces reflect both physical exhaustion and emotional turmoil. Woodville's attention to detail is evident as he portrays not only the human casualties but also emphasizes the plight of animals affected by war.
