Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders - Photograph of a drum major, Fort George, 1940

The success of the Highland Brigade's dawn attack made a dramatic subject for the Frenchman de Neuville, one of the foremost military artists of the 19th century. In a desire for accuracy, de Neuville was advised by officers who had been present at the battle. Many of the individuals in the painting can be identified.
