The Volunteer Manoeuvres at Brighton: Church Parade at the Dome, 1895. 'The Easter military manoeuvres of the Metropolitan and Home District Volunteers...At Brighton field manoeuvres were performed; or rather on the hills, Stanmer Down and Palmer Down, and towards Ditchling Beacon, with the strategic idea that an enemy had landed at Newhaven and occupied Lewes. There had been rather stiff marching in Sussex, from Hayward's Heath, on the Friday and Saturday. On Easter Sunday, at Brighton, twelve hundred Volunteers formed a congregation for religious worship in the Pavilion Dome. Lord Belhaven, as Brigadier-General, was in command. The troops consisted of the West Surrey Brigade, formed of the 1st and 2nd and 3rd and 4th Volunteer battalions of the Queen's Regiment, under Colonel Bovington ; and the East Surrey, under Colonel Villiers, comprising four battalions of the East Surrey Regiment, with detachments of the Middlesex Yeomanry, the Oxford University Volunteers, and the Volunteer battalion of the King's Royal Rifles'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
