"Baron Roberts of Kandahar and Waterford: A Journey through History" Step into the world of Field Marshal Lord Roberts, Commander in Chief of the forces in South Africa in 1902. With Lafayette's artistic touch, his portrait captures the essence of a great military leader. As we delve deeper, an ambuscade awaits us - an unknown creator brings to life a thrilling moment from history in "Mafeking: Eloffs Desperate Attack on the Eve of the Relief. " The tension is palpable as we witness this daring assault unfold. Moving back in time, a sketch transports us to the Battle of Cawnpore in 1857. Though its creator remains anonymous, their depiction vividly portrays the chaos and bravery that defined this historic conflict. In contrast, we discover Lord Robertss Birthplace - Cawnpore itself. This snapshot from the 1820s takes us to where it all began for our esteemed baron. Unknown hands have captured a glimpse into his early years before destiny beckoned him towards greatness. Our journey continues through Church Street, Pretoria - The Approach to Town. Donald E M Cracken's creation invites us to experience what Lord Roberts himself witnessed during his campaign. We can almost feel the anticipation building as victory draws near. A plan reveals itself next - one that maps out the road from Shutargardan Pass to Cabul around 1880. This strategic insight offers a glimpse into Lord Robertss meticulous planning and determination during his conquests. The Entry of Lord Roberts and Staff into Pretoria follows suit; another unknown artist immortalizes this triumphant moment for posterity. As they march through city streets with pride and honor, their presence commands respect and admiration. Pretoria Square comes alive once more as we find ourselves waiting eagerly for Lord Roberts' arrival alongside his army on June 5th. In this snapshot frozen in time by an unknown creator, the anticipation is almost tangible.
