Légende

British Infantry in Barracks, at Gallipoli, 1854. Scene from the Crimean War: soldiers in Turkey. 'The order to march has just been received, and no enchanter's wand could more effectually convert inactivity and supineness into energy and action than a few words read from the orderly-book has instantaneously achieved. As if by magic dull inertness starts into bustling energy. Knapsacks are repacked, arms carefully examined, ammunition inspected; and in brief space all that denoted inextricable confusion is moulded down into perfect order and regularity. Each man takes his place in the ranks fully equipped, and prepared to move off at the word of command. Such is the effect of discipline'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
