Detachment of the Royal Artillery leaving Woolwich for the Gold Coast, 1873. 'The departure of troops for this war have excited more than usual interest. Our front-page Engraving shows the scene at Woolwich [in south-east London] when a detachment of the Royal Artillery left the great barracks there for the port of its embarkation'. The Anglo-Ashanti wars were a series of five conflicts that took place between 1824 and 1900 between the Ashanti Empire - in the Akan interior of the Gold Coast - and the British Empire and its African allies. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
