Légende

The Autumn Campaign on Dartmoor: a Hansom in camp, 1873. The British Army on manoeuvres in Devon. 'The sketches refer to a variety of campaigning incidents; anything unusual or unexpected, however trivial it may be, that breaks the routine life of soldiers in camp on a day of inactivity is sure to attract a crowd of spectators from the ranks, and from the commonalty of the neighbourhood in general. Even such a thing as the sudden arrival of a hansom cab, bearing a strange gentleman who was hastening to save the post by using the letter-box on Ringmoor Down, has not passed without remark'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
