The sequel (this is a version he painted) showing the wonded troops returning to Gravesend Pier to be re-united with their families. Several of the same faces from the earlier work are shown again. These replicas were common for popular pictures. A coloured mezzotint was engraved by William Turner Davey in 1861.
