The Relief of Kumassi : Major Morris Receiving the Congratulations of the Governor. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, August 25th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Frank Craig, from details supplied by a British Officer, for "The Relief of Kumassi :  Major Morris Receiving the Congratulations of the Governor."

The rapid advance of the Relief Column entirely disconcerted the enemy, who had evidently prepared to oppose it strongly some twelve miles from the town.  The advance was continued until one of the investing stockades round the capital was reached.  To the great surprise of our force this particular stockade was not held at the moment of their arrival, and they got into Kumassi without further opposition.  To their great relief the men found the Union Jack still flying, and a few minutes after the entry into the town Major Morris, who, wounded as he was, was borne in on a hammock, received the congratulations of the besieged garrison on his splendid march from the North.

Condition is Very Good.
