I agree that it's a nice example (I note that the named people are all 
leading safely from the rear of the column) but
(a) can we get a better resolution image? this one is quite murky
(b) who owns the digital image and is it GPLd?

The prose caption is easy enough, I'd have thought, so long as you dont 
worry about the rendition:

<head type="sub">From a drawing by Major Von Tempsky, 1866)</head>
<head type="main">Chute's Column on the March</head>
