Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Brackenbury was a brilliant staff officer - one of the “Garnet Ring” that surrounded the famous General Sir Garnet Wolsey. This is a very serious and detailed two-volume account of the brief but bloody Ashanti campaign - containing a lot of background and logistics. The Ashanti War came about after the armies of the ambitious Ashanti Empire moved south, attacking coastal tribes in the Gold Coast under British protection. After naval forces had failed to deter them, a military expedition was mounted under Wolseley, including soldiers from the Rifle Brigade, the Black Watch and the Royal Welch Fusiliers. Garnet moved against the Ashanti early in 1874, twice defeated them, and occupied their capital Kumasi. In the wake of the defeat, other small tribes asserted their independence and eventually Britain, after restoring oirder, was compelled to add the Gold Coast to the dominions fo the British Empire. Losses in the war were an estimated 1,000 British and 2,000 Ashantis.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE INVASION OF ASHANTI--THE ROAD TO THE PRAH--CAMPING-GROUNDS FOR EUROPEAN TROOPS--SANITARY PRECAUTIONS--HOSPITALS AND TRANSPORT FOR SICK AND WOUNDED--THE TRANSPORT QUE8TION GENERALLY -- ARRIVAL AND DESPATCH TO SEA OF THE EUROPEAN TROOPS -- ORDERS FOR THE MARCH AND FOR THE FIGHT--THE MAJOR-GENERAL'S PLAN OF INVASION. It has already been pointed out that in the earlier stages of his operations on the Gold Coast, the MajorGeneral had a double aim in view--to drive the enemy out of the Protectorate, and to make the necessary preparations for the subsequent invasion of Ashanti by a force of European troops.
