Légende

The English Volunteers at Ghent: open-air festival in the Place d'Armes, 1872. British Army soldiers in Belgium. 'In the evening the town was illuminated, especially the Place d'Armes, a large open square, where a grand concert was given by the Royal Society of Mélomanes, under M. Edward Nevejans, the music being by the band of the Guides and the singers of the different societies, with the pupils of the commercial schools. The great feature was an ode to the foreign riflemen. This was sung in Flemish, and it gave welcome to "Britons, vigorous offspring of the Queen of the Seas," and to other nations by name. The concert was not over until nearly midnight'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
