Légende

The Autumn Campaign: a reserve outlying picket, 1872. British Army manoeuvres. 'On the first page we give an Illustration of a Reserve Outlying Picket. Grouped around the cheerful blaze of an impromptued fire the men gossip about the day's proceedings and give vague guesses as to the future. Many a hearty laugh is provoked as one droll anecdote is succeeded by others still droller. There is here, happily, no death-stricken or wounded comrade to mar the mirth, or any great fear of what tomorrow has in store. So they smoke the pipe of peace and are at rest'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
