These pictures remind me of this one:
It's the exodus of the defenders of a Greek city called Mesolonghi during the War of Independance against the Ottomans. (the same city in whoch Lord Byron died). When the food and gunpowder were finished, the defenders attempted an exodus, putting the women and children in the middle. Many died, but others managed to make it to safery. ------------- The basis of a democratic state is liberty.
