註釋The Ashanti (Asante) War of 1873-74, reported on byfamous war correspondents such as Henry Morton Stanleyand G.A. Henty, was seen as a model campaign. It was wonat modest cost in expenditure and lives and wasinstrumental in the confident projection of Britishmilitary power across the Empire. It also made ahousehold name of Wolseley - Gilbert and Sullivan's `verymodel of a modern Major General'. Wolseley's previouslyunpublished campaign journal and correspondence proved arich and compelling account of the problems of Victoriancampaigning, as well as new insight into the complexcharacter of `our only General'.
