Légende

The Easter Volunteer Manoeuvres: utility of our transport service on a hot field day, 1890. 'Here is a valuable military force prepared to aid in the defence of the country...Our Artist's Sketches, though of a gently humorous and playful character, illustrate the ordinary personal experiences of Volunteers in a marching column which is two or three days on the road from London to the south coast. This column is attended by waggons of the transport service, which was not usual in former years; and it is to be hoped that overcoats, haversacks, and necessary utensils for eating and drinking will be provided on a future occasion'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
