A stunning group. Just the thing to get a Colonial man's heart beating considerably faster!

Some info on Lieutenant T. McCubbin, Durban Light Infantry. This is taken from the post regarding McCubbin, "He joined the Durban Light Infantry in 1901". This is actually untrue! He was actually already serving as Lieutenant-Colonel of the D.L.I. in March 1900! At the end of March 1900 he was based somewhere in the Estcourt (Natal) area with the D.L.I.
