| This print from the Illustrated London News illustrates the drowning of the 47 men of the 10th Hussars on the night of 31 Mar 1879. The actions have been compressed for dramatic purposes but a contemporary photo of the scene of the disaster shows that the river, looking deceptively calm, was around 200 yards across. |
