Légende

The War in Herzegovina: Fight on the Gatschko, near Lipnik, from a sketch by the correspondent of the "Russki Mir", 1876. View of '...the fight on the Gatschko river, where the Turks suffered great loss in their retreat from the scene of their signal defeat at Muratovitza on the 6th [April]. The river near Lipnik, between Piva and the town of Gatschko, was so swollen and so rapid as to make the ford dangerous. Here the troops were huddled together in a dense mass, crowding the ford. Many were carried away by the torrent and drowned, while the whole were exposed to the furious onslaught of the insurgents collecting around them...The loss is not known on the Turkish side; but one of the Russian volunteers says that it was a massacre, or simple butchery'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
