EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment during the Volunteer Manoeuvres, featuring the Aldershot Contingent. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases a scene filled with arms and staff officers engaged in military exercises. The focal point of the image is Brigadier Colonel Barrington Campbell, surrounded by umpires and members of the Aldershot Contingent. The soldiers are seen examining their weapons while some appear to be caught napping or dozing off amidst their duties. This candid portrayal offers a glimpse into the realities of camp life as fatigue sets in after long hours of training. The location is identified as Malplaquet Barracks, where troops from London Scottish and Hampshire have gathered for these manoeuvres. The composition highlights both the defensive weaponry carried by infantrymen and other armaments present on site. This historical photograph provides valuable insight into military practices at that time. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rigorous training sessions, soldiers still found moments to rest and recharge. The image also emphasizes the importance of vigilance among troops who must remain alert even during periods of downtime. Preserved within a private collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance in documenting volunteer activities during this era.
