The second document stating that the Quartermasters of all regiments should lime or earth the latrines each morning, sold together with an Illustrated London News engraved illustration of an Officer's tent. Two fascinating documents.rnNote: Cholera raged through the two main British Camps in Bulgaria in the autumn of 1854, first in Devnya and then at Varna.rnProvenance: Collection Thomas Hitzler.rn
