PART I. GENERAL OUTLINE OF A SOLDIER'S LIFE

Camp Life at Aldershot

At this centre about 30,000 troops, consisting of Regulars, Militia and Volunteers, go into training every year, either under canvas or in barracks.

Some little idea can be formed from this picture of the canvas cities one meets in this district. As a rule, eight men sleep in one tent, and, given fine weather, the life is most enjoyable and healthy. The camping season usually lasts from April to September.
