Arms of Precision Size:XXL: 127 x 100cm This cartoon relates to the'Arms of Precision', 1878. The setting is a 'Sham Fight, Aldershot'. The Brigade Major is saying to the Officer of Artillery: If you Fire by the Compass due South, at a range of Two Miles, the Enemy must retire! This may be an illustration of complacent acceptance of British military might and the lack of necessity to engage with the enemy and 'get one's hands dirty'. From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 2, 1878.
