Sketches at the Royal Military Exhibition: looking at a battle picture, 1890. '...one of the people who visit the Military Exhibition [at the Chelsea Hospital in London]...For the old pensioners, now quietly reposing and listening to the band - for the retired Major or Colonel, whose life has been spent in toilsome work for Queen and country, till his health failed in the bad climates of remote Imperial dominions - for the young subaltern, who intends to do his duty in the same faithful spirit - we entertain a high respect. And so does the gentle girl who is just now looking at a picture in the Battle Gallery; one of those visitors to the Military Exhibition more interesting, as we say, than the Exhibition itself'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
