The Brighton Review: the Artists' Corps marching to Brighton, 1880. 'On Good Friday, at half-past twelve, the 38th Middlesex (Artists) Rifles paraded to the number of upwards of 350, the parade-state including sixteen officers, thirty-four sergeants, and thirty-two drummers and filers. Major Hans Busk was in command...The column...proceeded to Hassock's-gate, where it was joined by the commissariat and ambulance waggons, and marched on to Brighton. Their martial appearance, all ranks being in full dress, with helmets, gaiters, shooting boots, white gloves, water-bottles, haversacks, and regimental great-coats, rolled and worn over the shoulder, was in the highest degree satisfactory'. From "Illustrated London News", 1880.
