Camp of the Queensland Mounted Infantry at Orange River. This corps was stationed at Orange River for some time and afterwards joined the Canadian troops at Belmont, from which place it accompanied them to Douglas and was engaged for the first time in South Africa at Sunnyside.

The Naval Brigade picket. The Right Hon George Goshen, First lord of the Admiralty, in the course of a speech, said the Admiralty was enabled to assist the Army without depleting the Navy. The Naval Brigade has done admirable service at the Modder River and Graspan battles.

A kitchen on the veldt. The above illustration depicts Tommy Atkins, with a kitchen table made of railway sleepers and a stovepipe (over a mud oven) composed of empty paraffin tine, preparing dinner in the open. Hundreds of men have been provided with excellent meals from this improvised oven.
