      Standing facing away from the wall, gets shot in back from battle, turns around to see who/what it was and falls over dead.

      The uniforms suggest that this is a (fictional) scene from The Battle of Little Bighorn, also called Custer’s Last Stand. General Custer and his cavalry were soundly defeated by the combined Indian tribes with whom they were battling. The note on the arrow suggests that it was sent by one of the Indian warriors. Rather than heed the very graphic warning, they chose to mock the spelling.
