A force made up of Canadians, Australians and Imperial troops escort loyal inhabitants from the area around the village of Douglas and return safely to the town of Belmont, north West of Cape Colony

The Queenslanders arrive at the Bates farm and get ready to offer help and protection

















While on the march to safety the children of the Loyalists have their spirits kept up by singing

February 1900 - Sailors from the Naval Brigade man the firing slits in the armoured carriage as the train moves out







All figures - Little Legion (specials)

Rifles would not have bayonets attached when firing through the slits therefore Mike at Little Legion remodeled his existing NB firing figures giving them new arms with rifles without bayonets.
