Légende

The Volunteer Review at Portsmouth: the defending force concentrating at King William's Gate, 1869. View of a 'sham fight' - military exercises by British soldiers. 'The enemy then, uniting his entire force, prepared to assault the fortress, and attacked it throughout the whole length of its defences, his fleet redoubling their fire upon the seaward face of the defences...All engaged - the regular troops as well as the volunteers - seemed to enter into the afternoon's work before them in the best possible spirit'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
