Nice little display. That Boer should have checked the batteries in his hearing aid before taking a pot shot at the troopers.

The men in the picture are National Scouts. Boers who joined the British forces. To this day there is great hatred towards them amongst Afrikaners.
They betrayed their own people and are generally regarded as beyond the pale.
Herman Charles Bosman wrote a beautiful short story called the Traitors Wife about a national scout who is betrayed by his own wife to the burgers still in the field to be executed rather than remain married to a traitor
As usual Martyn great images

Goes to show what I have repeatedly quoted from Faulkner that the past is never dead, it's not even past.
