EDITORS COMMENTS

The image captures a moment during the Boer War (1899-1902), showcasing General Kelly-Kenny's authoritative presence as he oversees his troops. The scene is filled with activity as soldiers and horses stand at attention, creating a sense of discipline and order. The camp itself stretches out behind them, revealing rows of tents and military equipment. It is evident that this was a crucial time for strategizing and preparing for battle. General Kelly-Kenny played a significant role in various key events during the war, including participating in the relief of Kimberley and engaging in battles such as Paardeberg, Poplar Grove, and Driefontein. His leadership skills were highly regarded among his men. This stereoscopic photograph provides us with an intimate glimpse into the harsh realities faced by soldiers during times of conflict.
