Légende

The 70th Bengal Native Infantry messing, 1858. Indian soldiers in China. A scene which '...may be witnessed daily down at the beach. The sepoys seem to object to dine in company, and sit apart from each other. They have all little brass pots, with which they perform their ablutions'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
