Refreshment of troops at the Windsor Review, 1874. Illustration of the scene after '...the review by her Majesty the Queen, in Windsor Park, of the troops lately commanded by Sir Garnet Wolseley in the campaign against the Ashantees...These three brave regiments of the British Army, with the detachments of Artillery and Engineers, had been doing real hard work for the service of the British Empire. They had come home, from a laborious and dangerous enterprise in the worst climate upon earth, to receive due thanks for their fidelity, and praise for the fortitude by which a complete success had been happily won. [They]... marched to some large marquees, where a substantial meal was provided for each man by the kindness of her Majesty. When the meal was concluded they again fell in, and marched through the town to the railway station'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
