Légende

The War in Eastern Asia: Chinese artillery at drill, 1895. 'It appears that the only European instructor to the Chinese forces present at Wei-hai-Wei was Colonel Theodor Schnell...The Colonel, who is a German by birth, has been in the Chinese service for a quarter of a century. He has been engaged in instructing the artillery during this time. He was one of the three Europeans who were reported as having been killed or captured at Wei-hai-Wei, but later reports certify that, at all events, he has not suffered death. The Japanese have taken possession of the arsenal, forts, and war-ships at Wei-hai-Wei with the order and method which have distinguished them on previous occasions'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
