On two days of last week the presence of military here [in Ansty], in Butler's Field, gave a warlike aspect. On the first night five batteries of the Royal Field Artillery, and on the second night three batteries, made the above venue a 'reat camp' on their way to Fordingbridge. That prime necessity, water, was laid on to the camp, from the mains of the Mid Sussex Joint Water Board, by Mr CG Ballard, of Haywards Heath.
