With the Natal Volunteer Ambulance Corps: The Operating tent

'The services of the Natal Volunteer Force during the War have been most conspicuous, but it is not only as combatants that the Natalians have done good work. They have an excellent Volunteer Ambulance attached to the 5th Brigade with Sir Redvers Buller's force'
