You guessed it {bravo}} One of the first uses of the searchlight in Southern Africa was in the Matabele War 1893.

During the Boer War an agreement was reached between the Boers and British that no Indian soldiers were deployed to southern Africa as combatants, rather all the fighting troops were to be British. This was because both the British and the Boers had agreed that no non-white troops were to participate in the war in a fighting capacity; a decision taken through fear of arming Africans who might later turn their weapons against both British and Boer alike. However, many Indians did in fact serve during the Anglo-Boer War as ‘auxiliaries’ in support of the fighting men, itself a not inconsiderable role. A few Indian Lancers slipped through, more of them later :wink2:

I have been very lucky recently and added to my ABW collection with several "Special Commission" sets, several of which were commissioned by The Guards Toy Soldier Shop in London back in 2001

Here is the ABW version of

Set# EQ62 - ARMY SERVICE CORPS SUPPLY WAGON As you can see the set has the addition of an Indian Army Pioneer assistant to the driver, the small dog is also included

Those are some rare, mint, beautiful sets that make up a full scene or more than one. Well done, we've never seen the Boer War done better. We have a credible one, yours - especially as a full set from Trophy - is a masterpiece.
We never collected Boers or India (beyond a few sets). Starting to regret it! Please keep posting any additions, your photography of these beautiful sets is lovely to see.
Trophy pics always valued!
