A correction to the inaccurate part of the caption to the above painting.
This should read.
Col Durnford with remnants of Pope's 'G' company, 24TH (2ND WARWICKSHIRE) REGIMENT,,,,,, and not SWB. :evil:

When I look at this painting, I see that the most high ranking soldier is a sargeant. So I like to think Its just a bunch of ordinary soldiers banding together and dieing together nothing to do with any of the officers present.
