Story of the battle told in headlines. Methuen's first battle. A fierce engagement. The Guards and the Ninth Brigade. Naval brigade in action. Bluejackets and marines. Position after position stormed. British bayonets against Boer guns. The Ninth Lancers creeping round the flank. The first step towards the relief of Kimberley.

Quite frankly, those are, without any possible doubt whatsoever, the worst pictures I have seen.

I know what you mean Frank but they do capture a certain spirit of the events?
