The Tientsin Volunteers photographed by Nathan J. Sargent, one of the volunteers. This unit was composed primarily of businessmen. One naval officer wrote: ‘The Volunteers, also at first, rendered service, and some of the mounted ones patrolled efficiently. The ‘Home Guard’ as a body of residents called themselves, were not of any use … the real commencement of the siege soon weeded out the numbers of people who had been so “eager” to display their martial ardour.’ (Jean S. and Frederic A. Sharf Collection)
