Notes at the Easter Volunteer Manoeuvres at Dover - A Glimpse into 19th Century Military Training
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Notes at the Easter Volunteer Manoeuvres at Dover" offers a fascinating glimpse into the military training exercises of the 19th century. Captured by an unknown English School artist and now part of a private collection, this print showcases a scene that originally appeared in The Graphic on April 16,1887. The image depicts various elements of military life during these manoeuvres. From soldiers chasing each other through castle quarters to Belgian visitors observing with curiosity, every detail tells a story. Helioscopes are used for reconnaissance while flags flutter proudly in the wind. The thin red line of soldiers from the 22nd Middlesex regiment stands strong as they prepare ammunition and signal their comrades. Notably, this engraving also highlights some unique features of Dover's landscape. Tunnelled casemates provide shelter and strategic positions for troops while Bill Hill and Whitfield Mill serve as prominent landmarks amidst the bustling campsite. Farmers' refuges offer temporary housing options for volunteers who have traveled far to participate in these exercises. As we admire this historical artwork, it serves as a reminder of how military tactics have evolved over time. It captures not only moments of intense training but also glimpses into everyday life within these temporary communities formed during volunteer manoeuvres.
