I think Neville's picture finally provides the answer... Attachments: The following user(s) said Thank You: Neville_C

Complementing the above series of pictures, herewith the Americans, photographed on the same day (by van Hoepen as Neville correctly surmised). There are, beside Blake, quite a number of men who appear also in the photograph of the Irish Brigade, underlining the fact that many of the Americans fighting for the Boers were Irish Americans.
