Punjabis charge at Arogye, The Battle of Magdala, April 1868, British Expedition to Abyssinia


Illustration from The Life and Times of Queen Victoria published circa 1901. Caption is incorrect as there is no record of a Battle of Aroqhee. Almost certainly it's a Victorian misspelling of Arogye where the Battle of Magdala was fought.
