Dressed in their field service uniforms and donning forage caps, these dedicated soldiers are engrossed in training exercises that would prepare them for battle. The tented encampment nearby serves as a reminder of their temporary residence during this rigorous period of instruction. The photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into the life of Victorian-era soldiers, highlighting their commitment to honing their skills with precision weaponry.
