January 7th 1901 – Kroonstad Remount Depot

Many Indian Army troops were sent to South Africa but not as combat troops, they were used in non-combat operations though working under fire. Apparently due to a tacit agreement between the British and Boers only whites should take part in military operations.

Here are troops from the remount Depot at Kroonstad taking a break, they were allowed weapons for personal protection only.
