Admirable skill was shown in the position selected by Amanquatia, and the determination and generalship he displayed in the defence fully bore out his great reputation as an able tactician and gallant soldier."[2] Lance-Sergeant Samuel McGaw was awarded the Victoria Cross for action during the battle.[3] References1. ^1 Ashanti Wars{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Heritage History 2. ^{{cite book|last=Low|first=Charles Rathbone|title=A Memoir of Lieutenant-General Sir Garnet J.
