Artists Rifles Artwork on Display

It was an Army regiment formed in the 19th century that was quite unlike any other.  
 
The "Artists Rifles" were made up of some of Britain's most established artists, poets and writers.
 
But why swap paintbrushes for weapons?
 
The work produced by members of the regiment is now on display in Basingstoke.
