The Autumn Campaign on Dartmoor: our special artist challenged, 1873. The British Army on manoeuvres in Devon. 'The sketches refer to a variety of campaigning incidents; the sentries on guard in the camp, both at night and by day, keep up a show of the same kind of vigilance that would be requisite with an army engaged in real warfare; and our Special Artist himself, when passing the head-quarters of the First Division at half-past nine on a dark evening, has been challenged with the cry, "Who goes there?" to which he had but to answer, "A friend!".' From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
