Oh in which case it is the destruction of the Khartoum relief column... Abu Klea I think it was? I don't remember now.
Thats right! The British won a crushing victory but failed to relive Khartoum which resulted in the Mahdi rule of Sudan for the next 13 years. I daresay that the Birtish public blamed Gladstone for the debacle, hence his resignation.

I would be willing to give it a go but need maybe day or so to crop and clean up an image so to make it not to easy.
IN PATROCINIVM SVB Dromikaites
'One day when I fly with my hands - up down the sky, like a bird'
But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at such a place; some swearing, some crying for surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their children rawly left.
Hyperides of Athens: We know, replied he, that Antipater is good, but we (the Demos of Athens) have no need of a master at present, even a good one.
I'm willing to post something if Conon doesn't want too.
Edit: He agreed to let me post this one so here it is.
