Date 7 March 1874
Description A village on the river Prah during the 2nd Ashanti War.
Details

On their march towards the Ashanti capital of Kumasi, British soldiers watch the peaceful scene of women catching fish and tritons in the river Prah. The British crossed this river in their fight against the King of the Ashanti. In 1873, after decades of an uneasy relationship between the British and the Acing people of central Ghana, the British attacked and virtually destroyed the Asanti capital of Kumasi, and officially declared Ghana a crown colony on 24 July 1874.
