The powerful lithograph titled ""Hands up, or We fire!" Boer Treatment of Our Wounded at Koorn Spruit" captures a harrowing moment during the Second Boer War. Created by Amedee Forestier and published in The Illustrated London News on May 5,1900, this print depicts a scene that exposes the brutal reality faced by soldiers on both sides. In this gripping image, we witness the aftermath of battle as wounded British soldiers are confronted by Boer fighters. With their hands raised in surrender, these brave men face an uncertain fate at the hands of their captors. The tension is palpable as rifles are aimed towards them with a chilling ultimatum: "Hands up, or We fire!". This artwork serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in this conflict. It sheds light on the harsh treatment endured by wounded soldiers and highlights the immense challenges faced by medical personnel such as Dr. Udale Smith from the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) who worked tirelessly to provide care for injured troops. Through intricate engraving techniques and meticulous attention to detail, Forestier's lithograph brings history to life.
