Christmas Day with the Ashanti Expeditionary Force - A Glimpse into Camaraderie and Festivity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "Christmas Day with the Ashanti Expeditionary Force" offers a fascinating window into a momentous occasion during the late 19th century. The image depicts soldiers of the Ashanti Expeditionary Force gathered in their camp at Atobiassi, Ghana, as they prepare for a joyous Christmas celebration. The scene is filled with bustling activity as military personnel diligently set up tables adorned with festive decorations. Soldiers can be seen engaged in various tasks - some are cooking over open fires, while others arrange plates and cutlery. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and camaraderie as these brave men come together to create an unforgettable holiday experience far from home. Frank Dadd's masterful engraving captures not only the meticulous attention to detail but also the sense of unity among these soldiers stationed thousands of miles away from their loved ones. Despite being far from home on this special day, they find solace in each other's company and forge deep bonds that transcend borders. This historic artwork was originally published in The Graphic on February 8th, 1896, providing readers back then with a glimpse into life within the Ashanti Expeditionary Force during Christmas time. Today, it serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience exhibited by those who serve their country selflessly. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to
