Alphonse de Neuville has illustrated this famous action as the battle reaches its height. Looking southwest the farmhouse, which was being used as a hospital is ablaze and the patients are being transferred through a small side window to the storehouse on the left. Lt. Bromhead is depicted in the centre, pointing, with private Hitch just behind him.
Surgeon Reynolds, kneeling, is attending a patient while just behind him Chaplin Smith is handing out ammunition.
The first line of defence illustrated on the right is composed of mealie bags. In this Lt. Chard is accepting ammunition supplies from Corp. Allen, while to his right Colour Sergeant Borne is leaning over the Mealie bags to take better aim! On the left the second line of defence is under construction with biscuit boxes, which they were soon to fall back to.
