This is a one metre high picture that hangs in the Siege Museum, Ladysmith. It lists the names of men who served in Colonial units during the Boer War.

My pictures do not do it justice.

Some of the details







Part of the 1st Brabant's Horse detail

What a truly wonderful piece of art, quite remarkable, I wonder who conceived it and why?

It must have taken some much preparation and then time to execute.

I see that officers and NCOs have their rank shown; troopers/privates have surnames only. For a task of that magnitude, the compiler(s) must have had access to the medal rolls.
Really remarkable item
