And herewith Q 164

Add Q164 above: Perhaps interesting for the Relief of Ladysmith researchers: In faint pencil text certain names of Officers in the front row are mentioned, together with a list of Officers not present . The mention of the fate of these men illustrates the incredibly heavy losses (wounded or killed) this unit sustained while General White was in Ladysmith turning his horses into Chevril. I applied some filters to make the names more or less readable.

Below a tattered J.E. Middlebrook ABW period photograph of the Inhambaan music band. This troupe of musicians features xylophones annotated “Collard and Brinsmead” a somewhat ambitious reference to the high-quality pianos produced by Collard & Collard and John Brinsmead & Sons in London in the 19th and early 20th century. The band hailed from Inhambane, a coastal province in Mozambique not far from the Transvaal border.
