The Autumn Campaign on Dartmoor: tram car from the Rock to the 1st Division, 1873. The British Army on manoeuvres in Devon. 'The sketches refer to a variety of campaigning incidents; anything unusual or unexpected, however trivial it may be, that breaks the routine life of soldiers in camp on a day of inactivity is sure to attract a crowd of spectators from the ranks, and from the commonalty of the neighbourhood in general...the tramway car, laden with passengers, that runs between the Rock and the late quarters of the First Division on Yannadon Down'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
