I forgot, you cannot have to large a picture, I have found that between 500 and 800 pixles along the top is the best size...… When I have added some pictures for other members I have had to re-size the pictures......

This photograph was taken in Ladysmith during December 1899.

Major Miller-Wallnutt sits in the front row on the right.

I hope Neville won't mind me posting his photo which shows the 18th Hussars guarding the southern crest of Wagon Hill. This is within a couple of hundred yards of the spot where Miller-Wallnutt was killed. Conan Doyle (p228) describes this:
"In a gun-emplacement a strange encounter took place at point-blank range between a group of Boers and of Britons. De Villiers of the Free State shot Miller-Wallnutt dead, Ian Hamilton fired at de Villiers with his revolver and missed him. Young Albrecht of the Light Horse shot de Villiers. A Boer named de Jaeger shot Albrecht. Digby-Jones of the Sappers shot de Jaeger. Only a few minutes later the gallant lad, who had already won fame enough for a veteran, was himself mortally wounded..."
The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.
