Thanks Alan!

Quote:the battle was fought on the outskirts of the Ili River valley, near lake Issyk Kul.

I looked it u on GoogleMaps: what a remote corner of the world, yet on avery busy crossroads from east to West and vice versa. One cannot help but wonder about the thousands of battles that must have been fought over this piece of land, and the many stories about them, now undoubtedly lost.

I wonder which names these heroes had? I can imagine this was an epic battle which the artist depicted, already looking back 200 years?
