Data

A newspaper reported that “baseball” was among the amusements enjoyed by volunteer soldiers of the Nos. 1 and 6 batteries of the Brighton Artillery on an excursion to the village of Ringmer in East Sussex. “Upon arrival in Ringmer, arms were piled, and the amateur soldiers engaged in cricket, baseball, &c., or patronised the “Aunt Sallys,” shooting galleries, and other adjuncts of a rural festivity, which had been provided by the enterprise of a caterer from Crawley.”
