Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: At Paardeberg, the Royal Canadian Regiment first attacked on 18 February 1900. Accurate Boer fire forced them to take cover. Broiling in the hot sun, this soldier trapped in the open, has found partial protection behind a large ant-hill.
By the time the South African War began in 1899, the British Army had abandoned its familiar red coats for the camouflage of khaki uniforms. The infantry carried a standard .303 Lee-Enfield Mk. I rifle. Canadians added the maple leaf badge to the covered cork helmet. |
