The soldiers are adorned in their distinctive costumes and armed with weapons that reflect their determination and resilience. Horses trudge through deep snow while soldiers struggle to maintain their footing amidst the freezing temperatures. The print captures both the physical and emotional toll of war. Exhaustion can be seen etched on every face as they battle against nature itself. It serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences that warfare can inflict upon those involved. This historical artwork offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in English history, featured in Cassells History of England published around 1920.
