English: Benin Expedition
Top: In camp on the return from Benin. Bottom: Halting for a bath. Quote: In January 1897 a peaceful mission of Officers was massacred in the bush by orders of the King of Benin. Rear Admiral Harry Rawson was instructed to land a Naval Brigade to capture and reduce the City of Benin. After various fighting and burning of villages by the minor forces, the main advance began on the 14 August 1897, and after a running fight for two days the village of Agagi was reached on the 16th. The wells were found to be dry, this causing a delay until the 17th when the march was resumed. On 18th, after a running bush fight for 5 hours, Benin City was reached and taken. reference |
