Image description

Native Police, South Africa, 1900. Photograph, Boer War (1899-1902). As well as policing their own territories, black Africans served alongside British forces during the Boer War. It is estimated that between 15,000 and 30,000 blacks were serving under arms with the British Army as scouts and sentries, while another 100,000 worked as labourers, transport drivers, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, farriers and builders. One of twenty photographs probably collected by Field Marshal Sir George White, 1900 circa.
