The 1st Lancashire Mounted Rifles and the Artillery Brigade marching past, 1860. Creator: Unknown
The 1st Lancashire Mounted Rifles and the Artillery Brigade marching past, 1860. Review of Lancashire Rifle Volunteers in Knowsley Park, ...commenced by the Lancashire Hussars, a magnificent body of cavalry, splendidly mounted, and numbering nearly 200 troopers. The public were loud in their encomiums on this splendid body of men and horses, whom it would be impossible to surpass by the finest regiment in the service. Next came the artillery, four battalions, and numbering upwards of 2000; and of which, if it were possible to make a distinction, the palm must be given to Colonel M'lver's third Liverpool battalion, composed entirely of the artisans engaged in the great factories of the Cunard Company. The appearance of these men, the style of their marching, and the completeness of their equipments, left nothing to be desired...Colonel Bousfield, the youthful commandant of the 1st Lancashire, was loudly cheered as he rode along at the head of his perfect corps. This brigade mustered 2211 men...The marching of all was excellent, and fully satisfied the most competent critic...The united bands then struck up the National Anthem, which was responded to by the multitude with enthusiastic cheering'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860
