The Cholera at Malta: sanitary encampment of the 4th (King's Own) Regiment on the Floriana, 1865. 'In the Number of our Journal for the 23rd of September we gave an Illustration of the encampment of the 100th (Prince of Wales's Royal Canadian) Regiment on the glacis of Fort Manoel, at Malta, that regiment having, by command of his Excellency the Governor, Sir Henry Storks, been removed from barracks and placed under canvas to benefit the health of the men and to prevent their being attacked by the cholera, which has lately visited both the Maltese population and the British troops in that island. We now present a similar Illustration from a photograph sent us by Captain C. Breton, of the encampment of the 4th (King's Own) Regiment in the Floriana Parade-ground, near their own barracks. The tents under the trees have a melancholy interest from the fact that numbers of this gallant regiment died in them while the cholera was raging in the island'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
