I acquired this cabinet card recently. The photo was taken in South Africa, at Bethlehem or Senekal, and shows what I believe is a Canadian soldier. Any guesses as to his unit? I find the feather in his BP hat interesting, and also the handwritten “on police duty” on the back.

Hi Hallibag

Is it possible that your man was a Canadian serving in the South African Constabulary?
