Description | Fencing on board a Troopship 1876 |
Details |
Soldiers fencing on board a troopship, perhaps the 'Himalaya' - judging by lifebelt in the background. When troops were ordered to distant wars or postings, the long journeys under canvas meant plenty of time to spend on deck sports and pastimes.
