RHODESIA -- c.1968 -- Rhodesian Army soldiers practice an unusual infantry technique with .303 Lee Enfield rifles in the bush somewhere in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The Rhodesian Bush War or Zimbabwean War of Independence lasted almost 15 years and was one of the conflicts in which the Cold War was played out between the West and the Communist Bloc in Africa. The conflict began in 1964 and ended in 1980 with Independence. Aside from thousands of military casualties, the war took a heavy toll on the country's civilians too, who were often targeted by ruthless rebels, backed by the Soviet Union. Although universal sufferage was introduced, like many African nations, the post-independence period was marred by a slide into dictatorship and corruption -- Picture by Lightroom Photos

Colour print circa 1888 depicting the Siege of Vicksburg during the US Civil War. The siege, from May 25 - July 4 1863, occurred after Union Major General Ulysses S Grant and his Army of the Tennessee crossed the Mississippi River and drove Confederate forces under Lieutenant General John C Pemberton into the defensive lines surrounding the fortress city of Vicksburg. Two initial Union assaults were repulsed and Grant then besieged the garrison for more than 40 days before it finally surrendered. The Confederate surrender, when combined with General Robert E Lee's defeat at Gettysburg the previous day, is sometimes seen as the turning point of the war. Print by L Prang & Co.

American Civil War photograph taken at Westover Landing, Virginia, in August 1862 of Union cavalry officers. Pictured from left to right: Lieutenant W H Brown, 5th US Cavalry; Lieutenant H H King, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry; Colonel William Woods Averell, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry; Lieutenant Phillip Pollard, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry. The picture was taken during the Peninsula Campaign - a major Union operation launched in south-eastern Virginia in March 1862 and the first large scale offensive in the Eastern Theater of war. It aimed to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond by circumventing the Confederate Army in Northern Virginia but ended in a defeat for the Union. The photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 – 1882) is also notable in hindsight because of the presence of Colonel Averell (sitting). Averell (1832 - 1900), who rose to the rank of brevet Major General, became a diplomat after the war ended and subsequently became famous and wealthy by inventing American asphalt pavement.
