Volunteer fete at Crown, Point, near Norwich: the Review, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Volunteer fete given by Mr. Harvey, the High Sheriff of Norfolk, at Crown Point, near Norwich: the Review, 1862. A grand stand 70ft. long, and calculated to accommodate 500 ladies and gentlemen, was erected for the convenience of Mr. Harvey's specially-invited guests...Lieut.-Colonel Custance, of the West Norfolk Militia, commanded the right, and Lieut.-Colonel Astley the left, wing, while the whole force was under the general direction of Major-General Sir Archdale Wilson, of Delhi...When at last the signal was given to proceed with the evolutions, the troops formed contiguous columns at quarter distance, deployed into line, and threw out skirmishers...[who, ] after firing a few volleys, were recalled, and the battalions commenced file-firing...They then advanced, and the whole force formed square to resist cavalry, firing from right of faces several ringing volleys. The cavalry advanced and charged a supposed enemy in the south-west of the parade-ground, over which they rushed - scarlet flashing and sabres clattering - with great impetuosity...Then there was more file and volley filing, and more deploying, the whole concluding with the customary marching past the inspecting officer, headed by the cavalry'.
