Aldershott, an English military camp of instruction, in Hampshire, 50 m. by rail S. W. from London, established in 18541'5 on Alder-shott common, *a broad tract of sandy land. Near the site of the old village of Aldershott an entirely new town has sprung up, and the population of the parish has increased from about 900 in 1852 to over 20,000 in 1872, chiefly soldiers and persons connected with the military and civil services. A broad military road separates the town from the camp, which consists of N. and S. sections, divided by the Basingstoke canal, extending over an area of seven square miles, with accommodation for at least 20,000 soldiers. The structures consist of long rows of wooden huts for the soldiers permanently stationed there, around which they cultivate gardens; the headquarters, a substantial brick building; several churches, a permanent barracks, hospitais, places of recreation, etc. The cost of establishing this national military depot has already considerably exceeded £1,000,000. During the last five years annual reviews have taken place here between the months of June and September; two or more regiments of the volunteer forces being detailed, in their turn, to cooperate with the regulars, and thus gain a practical knowledge of military duty in the camp and on the field.
