Bivouac of the Volunteers at the close of the Review, 1860. Review of Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in Knowsley Park. 'The hospitality of the Earl of Derby...was on a scale of princely munificence; and the arrangements of the eating and drinking department...were as perfect as they were gigantic. "At the close of the review, officers commanding battalions will send an officer to take charge of the tent...and will direct the captain of each company to send one non-commissioned officer, with four men, to bring from the tent one basket containing refreshments for sixty men; one beer-can, containing three gallons of ale, ten half-pint drinking-cups, which will be found distinctly marked with the number of the company in the battalion...The captain of each company is charged with the proper distribution of these refreshments, and will send the can to be refilled, the portion allotted to each volunteer being one pint of ale. One water-cask will be told off to each tent. The volunteers will then pile arms, but are not to be allowed to stray away. The baskets, cans, and cups will be returned to the refreshment-tents when done with".' From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
