The Camp at Aldershott: soldiers' recreation room, 1868. 'The soldiers' recreation-room, in the permanent barracks, [is] worthy of remark. [It is] large and [and] is furnished with bagatelle-tables, chess and draught boards. These rooms, of which there are many of a similar kind in the camp, are highly appreciated by the soldiers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
