The Easter Volunteer Review: sounding the reveillé, 1880. 'The annual field-day of the collective force of Volunteer Rifle Corps belonging to the Metropolis and Home Counties took place on Easter Monday...on the Sussex Downs between Brighton and Lewes...Our Illustrations are devoted chiefly to the incidents of preparation...they are shown quite on the alert, answering the bugle-call of the "reveillé," when morning brings the hour for rising to take the field'. From "Illustrated London News", 1880.
