The Autumn Campaign: sketches in the Southern Camp, 1872. British Army manoeuvres. 'Wells...have been sunk; Norton's hand-pumps, first used in the Abyssinian campaign, are in great request; and the Engineers, in one case, have had recourse to a steam-engine to raise the supply to a higher level...1. An Illustration of the Engineers' pump, with filters [at Tarrant Monkton], is given. Pipes running up hill convey the water to tanks on Race Down. There is a signal-staff on the hill, which repeats signals from Race Down, and when the signals, a red-and- white flag and black ball, are lowered the engine ceases to work. 2. Tanks in Racecourse Camp; 3. Flag Telegraph Drill, 88th Regiment; 4. Mess Kitchen, 95th Regiment. Another of the Illustrations shows the issuing of bread rations [5.] at the head-quarters of the Southern Army. The waggons are sent about five in the morning from the camps to take their rations. One oven of the steam bakery turns out 160 rations in a batch, and five batches in from eight to ten hours. Ten men can work five ovens for twelve or fourteen hours. 6. Travelling post office'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
