The Autumn Campaign on Dartmoor: volunteers resting by the river, 1873. The British Army on manoeuvres in Devon. 'The sketches refer to a variety of campaigning incidents; the halt of a volunteer corps on their march at the brink of a water-course, which has the appearance of a mill-leat, where they slake their thirst and cool their hands and faces.' From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
