Autumn Campaign on Dartmoor, [Devon]: engineers making a passage through a stone wall, 1873. 'The Illustrations given in this Number belong to an earlier series of performances, while the two opposing Army Divisions, in their original positions of Yannadon and Ringmoor, were skirmishing against each other across the vale of the Meavy, around the village of Sheepstor, and over the sides of the neighbouring hills. To this period of their harmless warfare do the incidents appertain of...the Royal Engineers making a clear practicable breach through a wall of loose stones in the fields. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
