The Autumn Campaign: canteen, 1872. 'We continue the series of our Illustrations of the [British Army] manoeuvres performed in the open country of Wiltshire by the two divisions of regular troops, militia, and volunteers, each nearly 15,000 strong, under the commands respectively of General Sir Robert Walpole and General Sir John Michel. The former, whose force is styled the Northern Army, or the Army of Defence, had moved from his late head-quarters at Pewsey to encounter the latter, whose Southern Army, representing that of a foreign invader, had marched up from Blandford, so that they joined battle on ground between Warminster and Salisbury, near the village of Codford St. Mary, where the river Wiley, the high road, and the railway afforded a triple line of defence... In the canteen of the Army Service Corps, on Bottle Bush Down, we see a party of those good fellows taking their ease. They have a pet dog, which they delight to decorate with the medal awarded to those of their corps who served with the Military Train, under Generals Cameron and Chute, in the New Zealand war of 1864'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
