Encampment of the Rifle Brigade, at Constantinople - from a daguerreotype by J. Robertson, 1854. Scene from the Crimean War: British soldiers in Turkey. represented a detachment of the Rifle Brigade waiting "the assemble," prior to falling in on their respective parades. Divested of their knapsacks, they are about to go through the customary morning inspection; after which they are dismissed to their tents. The easy, listless attitudes of the figures offer sufficient guarantee that no order had, at that period, been issued for the Rifles to quit the peaceful encampment for a more stirring existence. The men patiently await the bugle-call, when they go through a routine of duty which is daily attended to as a matter of course. Both battalions of this splendid corps are now serving with the expeditionary force in the East'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
