'...the members of a dramatic society, consisting exclusively of members of the St. George's Rifle Corps, have exerted themselves in no small degree to promote the amusement of those dwelling in camp after the termination of each day's shooting. These performances have met with the greatest possible success, and promise to add considerably to the funds of the association...The society has only been in existence about eighteen months...Our Illustration represents a scene in the "Wonderful Woman." The amateurs were most ably supported by Miss Hughes (late of the Olympic Theatre), Miss Clifford (of the Royalty), and Miss Harris (of the Haymarket), who, with her sister, Miss E. Harris, kindly volunteered their services. The other ladies who assisted were Miss Austen and Miss Marshall'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
