Note what appears to be a crested crane inside his tent!

The last of my Boer War albums, and in my mind by far the best. The quality of the photos is really good, and there are some well known characters in here too. The album is 10.5" wide, and the photos 3" across, with two to each page. Please just ask if you want any close ups of any of the photos. I hope you enjoy! Alex

A better version of my grandfather with his mail, mare and pony, from another copy of the same photo...

I'm afraid the quality of some of these photos is pretty poor, and I have left a few out for that reason, but hopefully there are enough of interest for you to enjoy. The album is 6" wide, and the photos 3" wide. I have one Boer album left now, and that is the best, in my eyes, by a long, long way in terms of both quality and content. I'll try to get it on here over the weekend - it is definitely worth a look!! Thanks Alex

Thank you Michel - that is a fantastic piece of deduction, and although not conclusive, it is very interesting. :beer:

...and a mysterious figure to end on! Thanks for looking. Alex

My grandfather, David, second from right, back row.

Biscuits galore!

Hair cutting and shaving!

My favourite photo in this album...
