Foreword by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.
As an officer of the 1st Battalion of the 24th (Second Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot, Lieutenant William Whitelocke Lloyd (1856-1897) saw active service in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879.
He was also an artist of considerable talent.
On his return to civilian life, he became the official artist for the P & O and Union Castle Lines, and several books were published of his artwork depicting scenes from life in the army as well as from his travels.
A different fate awaited most of the water-colour paintings and sketches he made during the Anglo-Zulu War, which have remained unpublished and unknown for more than a century.
259 pages of text and reproduced artwork, with map in case at rear pastedown.
Dustjacket now in loose protective plastic overwrap.
The author, David Rattray was murdered in his office at Fugitive's Drift shortly after the publication of this book.
