Excellent photos. They bring back very happy memories of the town and the McGregor.

Very many thanks

Morning David

Glad you like them, I will be going back to Bloemfontein next year, hope to get some more pictures and tour a few more local battlefields. I also did the Paardeberg Battlefield last time, sadly not marked well.

Regards
Brian

'In hospital in Kimberley.

The accompanying illustration is interesting at the present moment as showing the care which is taken of the sick and wounded in Kimberley. The Drill Hall has here been commandeered for a hospital, and the patients are comfortably provided for, there being no lack of nurses.'
