Thanks, Rory,

Norman/Neuman Brindley Hewitt was a cyclist at headquarters in the Mafeking TG at the start of the siege and later a typist. He became lieutenant in June 1902.

Thank you again David and Rory - this is fantastic!

I'll keep a look out for More's report when published - very excited to be able to consult it, so thank you for the effort you've made to locate it and publish for the benefit of the forum.

Best wishes
Andy

Andy,

I was slightly delayed with More's report. It should be added tomorrow.

Andy,

William Walmisley is seated on the left, identifiable from his IGS ribbon.

In the centre is John More and on the right is James Buchan.

A poor quality picture from More's report.

John More is seated left and William Walmisley seated right.

The three men standing are unnamed, sadly.
