Sketches at the Royal Military Exhibition: Chelsea Pensioners listening to the band, 1890. Veterans 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'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
