Does anyone know if any pictures of any of the Boers exist who rode against the Jameson Raiders?

Maybe a group photo of a Kommando or the JVC?

Thanks

I had a flick back through my copy of "Wars of the 90's" (published just prior to the outbreak of the ABW) and in it there are a couple of group pics. Not with any identified people; just groups. If these are of interest, I could do the pics and put them on line.

That would be great thanks. For my OMRS display I have medals to a raider, a reform committee member and a Boer defender but a picture of him is impossible I think.

So I want to at least include a picture of a group.

Thanks for the help!

Herewith the pics. Remember the printing process in c.1899 was a dot matrix type on relatively poor paper and will probably not stand too much enlargement. Secondly, a couple of images look a bit distorted; this because the binding of the book did not permit too much bending-to-fully-open.

Hope they are of use. Perhaps you might consider putting a pic or so of your display on our host's site?

Thank you that is just what I needed. Once the display is done in September I will turn it into some sort of article I can put up. Cheers, Ryan.
