This photograph of Frere Railway Bridge was taken by Special War Correspondent René Bull. One of a series of lantern slides used by him during his lecture tours after the war.

At the risk of getting into trouble for posting images that contain nudity, here is another excellent view of Frere Railway Bridge.

It looks like the man standing in the river bed, second from right, has just lost his khaki helmet cover. An easy target for a Boer sniper.

Photograph by Durban-based photographer Benjamin W. Caney.
