Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 'Last Sleep of the Brave', Isandlwana, Zulu War, 1879. Oleograph after Alphonse de Neuville, 1881. This work depicts a patrol from the 17th (Duke of Cambridge's Own) Lancers discovering the bodies of Lieutenant Teignmouth Melvill and Lieutenant Nevill Josiah Aylmer Coghill, 24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot, who were both killed attempting to save the Queen's Colour of the 1st Battalion at the Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879. The depiction of the 17th Lancers is however anachronistic as when the bodies were retrieved the lancers had yet to leave England for South Africa.
