TOPIC:

In the 2nd Boer War the Leicestershire Yeomanry, serving as part of the Imperial Yeomanry, had a mascot. This was a veldt baboon. At least five photos of the baboon exist but there is a difference of opinion on the baboon's name. Some say that it was Adonse (the Zulu word for Grab) and others say he was called Alphonse.

I would be grateful for any thoughts on this one.
