Grand Review, Phoenix Park, Dublin, 1844. Creator: Unknown. Grand Review, Phoenix Park, Dublin, 1844. '...a review of the troops composing the garrison of Dublin took place in the Fifteen Acres, Phoenix-park...The accompanying sketch is taken at the moment when the infantry have formed an "echelon of squares", for a supposed attack of the enemy's cavalry, the artillery being in action on the right and left; thus bringing to the recollection of the lookers on, the numerous instances in which this mode of defence was adopted by the British army against the attacks of the French cavalry, on the memorable field of Waterloo'.
