As you gaze upon the scene before you, notice how two field batteries of artillery, one company of Royal Engineers, and 4664 troops from various regiments have assembled on the common to showcase their skills. The air is filled with smoke as twelve 12-pounder breech-loading guns are fired in a dazzling display of firepower.
The sheer scale of this event is awe-inspiring - thousands upon thousands of people have gathered to watch the manoeuvres, which last for about two hours. And what a sight it must be! The combined fleets anchored at Spithead provide a majestic backdrop as troops on the ground perform their drills and demonstrations.
