leigh kitchen Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Some photos of British troop troops etc during the Anglo-Boer War, this one published by "Underwood & Underwood" (Copyright 1900) is entitled "The dying Bugler's last call - abattlefield incident, Gras Pas, South Africa". Copyright 1900Although some of these photos are clearly posed, "faked", some are'nt.
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 This one reminds me of the opening scenes in "The party"...Do you have the whole set?
leigh kitchen Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 (edited) It reminds me of closing time being called in the local pubs.I have this & another one or two odd ones & a boxed set of 35 - I was planning on posting all of them in this fairly low res, although if somebody would like them in higher res so they can use them as stereo cards if they've got a viewer then I'll do that.The size they are appearing on screen is about right - maybe 1/4" longer than the original.Originals or copies would make nice backdrops to medals etc of the war.
