| Data | A newspaper reported that “base-ball” was one of the ways that militiamen of the Second Wilts Volunteers entertained themselves while training with regular army troops at the major military encampment at Aldershot in Hampshire. An article entitled “The Second Wilts Volunteers at Camp” detailed the daily schedule of the visiting soldiers, noting that “in the evening, the men being at liberty, amused themselves with cricket, quoits, base-ball, &c.” |
