The walking was so difficult-one had to hang
on by eyebrows in some places-that the execution
done was by no means in proportion to the
ammunition expended. But whenever is it, in a
truthful tale?
Our usual procedure was to shoot till the middle
of the day, and then have tiffin in our tents, and a
siesta as a sequel to the consumption of this and
Japanese beer, the great drink on these expeditions.
Towards evening we would sally out again, but
were nearly always too weary to take the same keen
zest as in the morning's proceedings. Our bag on
the first day amounted to thirty-nine and a half
brace, and for three full days we shot that valley,
the bag naturally diminishing, but always showing
good sport.

During WW1 battalions of the British army were deployed in India on reserve. This report from Capt. Alban Bacon of 2/4th Hampshires records of days spent shooting 'Sisi', a grey partridge.
Good to know they had time for 'tiffin'!
