Title
Men of the R.F.A. Cleaning Their Guns
Description
Accompanying text reads:
"When a battery comes out of the line to rest, its first form of repose is an orgy of gun-cleaning. The men of a good battery could no more settle down to any less strenuous recreation, while the guns were still dirty, than a Highland sergeant could take his ease in his inn while there was a patch not shinng in the interior of his rifle barrel."
