Once more the Committee have received two valuable presents for the Institution. 
The first is a complete set of Campion’s Plates, Illustrations of Eoyal Horse 
Artillery, presented by Lieut.-General J. E. Gibbon, C.B. These plates have 
long been out of print, and the publishers wrote recently to say they did not know 
where it would be possible to get a set.

it is pierced in several places by assegais, and was brought in this condition from 
his saddle off the field of Isandlilwana. Major-General P. G. Ravenhill, E.A., is 
the kind donor of this gift.
