Hi all, I have attached a photo that is meant to be from 1900 and obviously relates to a unit. I've picked up some of the names but can find no record of them i.e. John Raatz or Otto Kohler.

Any ideas would be welcome - possible Town Guard or MTD Rifle unit?

Many thanks

From FMP a possibility.....

Thanks Mike - looks promising!

Definitely the Umvoti MR as I've now identified most of the men from the W100/260 listing

Many thanks Mike!
