Courtesy of the Leicester Mercury from Loughborough Museum's new
display about the Boer War: the caption from this copy picture from
the display reads; The mounted infantry company of the 1st Leicestershire
Regiment was photographed by Horace Nicholls on the outskirts of
Ladysmith. The physical and mental exhaustion of the past week -
of Talana Hill and Yule's retreat is clear. A picture showing a
column of soldiers from the Anglo-Boer War. An exhibition at Charnwood
Museum combines pictures with letters from local soldiers involved
in the conflict. |
