Crash Action
A superb battle painting by war artist David Rowlands. The pullback down Route 11 is going wrong as Chinese, seeing the British escape, charge down the hillsides to attack at close range. A half-section of Ulster Rifles' mortars is deployed to fire cover as the infantry withdraw. While the scale of the landscape is smaller than is shown, and one veteran criticizes the painting's "tidiness," the details are accurate: The Riflemen wear caubeens and cap comforters, not helmets, ammunition crates are scattered around, and the Hussar Centurions, fighting as a rearguard amid swarming Chinese, fire behind them.
