Légende

The Autumn Manoeuvres on Dartmoor, 1873. The British Army in Devon. 'Printing Office; One of the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers; Going over hedge and ditch; Artillery Collar Makers; Ambulance Waggon...engraved sketches present[ing] different scenes of camp life and action in the field - the pet goat of the Welsh Fusiliers' regiment, the portable printing office attached to Sir Charles Staveley's head-quarters, the ambulance waggon for the medical care of sick or wounded soldiers, the temporary workshop of harness-menders for the artillery train, and the helter-skelter pace of a battery of field-guns flying over the roughest country in the hour of mimic battle. These features of autumnal campaigning experience on Dartmoor have an air of rude reality, unlike the July meeting on Wimbledon-common, or the Easter Monday congregation of volunteers on the Brighton Downs'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
