From The Wiltshire Times, Saturday 11th April 1874:
Volunteer Drill.
On Easter Monday a drill of the 1st Battalion, Wiltshire Rifle Volunteers, was held at Warminster. Corps from Salisbury, Trowbridge, Bradford, Westbury and Warminster took part. On arrival the company, numbering between 300 and 400, marched to Greenhill. After refreshments of sandwiches and ale, which the officers had surprisingly provided, a call to arms was sounded, and the afternoon was spent skirmishing and firing blank cartridges, etc.
