The Land Transport Camp before Sebastopol - Shoeing a Refractory Mule - sketched by J. A. Crowe, 1856. Crimean War. 'In this Sketch our Artist has represented a party of the Land Transport Corps in the rather awkward task of Shoeing a Refractory Mule. The obstinate animal, although laid on its back, appears almost a match for the four sturdy fellows who have taken it in hand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
