Military target practice, Québec City
When the British troops withdrew in 1871, the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery School took possession of the Citadel. We see in this 1873 engraving soldiers in the fortress practising target shooting with cannons. In 1920, the Citadel became home to the Royal 22nd Regiment, the only infantry unit led in French in Canada.
