TOPIC:

Would anyone be able to help me with a high resolution version of these two photographs?
They are of States Attorney Jan Smuts, and General Jan Kemp
thanks in anticipation

Rob, sorry can’t help you with those pictures. Just a suggestion, perhaps it would be better if you set up a special thread for such requests. It probably will give you more and better feedback and at the same time it allows threads to stay on topic.

Below a candid photograph of Kruger addressing a crowd at Lydenburg. It is not known when this picture was taken and may pre-date the war. In the righthand bottom corner there is a name of a photographer, illegible to me.


Below snapshot probably dates back to October 1899 and shows members of the Krugersdorp commando at the Krugersdorp station, ”off to Colenso” In the background the wagons are being loaded onto the flatbeds.

Two more or less candid photographs of Boers that were included in the 1900 French publication "Vaincre ou Mourir" which title seems to have been taken from the motto of 17th Lancers "Death or Glory"

Johannesburg Commando west of Ladysmith


Danie Theron's scouts bivouacking, probably also near Ladysmith (Correction: The men shown were wrongly identified as Theron's scouts in the caption. Neville pointed out these men are from the Sate Artillery)

I believe the second photograph was taken at the same time as the image below (see Rob's post HERE). From the uniforms it can be seen that the men are Staatsartillerists and not Theron's Scouts. I imagine this is why von Wichmann crossed out the original "Danie Théron" caption and replaced it with simply “Scharfschützen im Gefecht” or “Snipers in Battle”.

Photograph of a Boer with one month's rations.

Captioned: "Boer, showing manner of transporting supplies in cases of emergency - the man in foreground has one month's supplies".

Thank you Everhard for your photo of the President in Lydenburg (titled as 'Recruiting drive by President Kruger' in The Manchester Regiment’s Image Archive), a important photograph of the Commander-in-Chief, circa early to 13 August 1900 (Kruger retired from Lydenburg to Baberton on 13 August), taken shortly before Roberts’ proclaimed annexation of the ZAR and the advent of the guerilla phase of the War. On 6 September the Republicans finally vacated their positions and allowed Brockehurst and Dundonald to occupy Lydenburg.
