Dear Forummers
I'm after a higher resolution copy of this image; it shows two Boer heroes, Hendrik Slegtkamp (front) and Jack Hindon (behind), re-enacting for the camera their action on Tabanyama on 20 January 1900. The flag is the 'vyfkleur' made by Hindon's girlfriend. It is part of a photo-shoot of 3 views, and appears in "With the Flag to Pretoria" and "La Vie Illustre", but in both the image has been enhanced by artists. I'd be keen to see an original version, if anyone has one.
Thanks!
Rob
