The Volunteer Review: departure of the Artists Corps from Victoria Railway Station, [London], 1881. 'The Easter Volunteer Review, at Brighton, or elsewhere, has usually occasioned, in former years, some interesting scenes at the departure of several "crack" London Volunteer Corps, a day or two beforehand, from the Victoria station, or by other routes, chosen at their own discretion. But there is a considerable change in the arrangements for this week; and the following is the general plan, issued by Lieutenant-Colonel Drew on Monday, for a combined advance on Brighton by a force consisting of detachments of the 1st London Engineers, 1st Middlesex Engineers, 3rd Middlesex Artillery, 8th Surrey Rifles, 4th Middlesex Rifles, and 10th Middlesex Rifles, to commence on Good Friday: "The troops are to leave by train from London Bridge and Victoria on Good Friday morning, and on arrival at Three Bridges will be formed in brigade on the open land south of the Crawley-road...Our Illustration shows the scene at the departure of the Artists' Corps from the Victoria station'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
