This anonymous stereoscopic photograph, taken in 1900, depicts a group of British soldiers receiving the news that they are being deployed to the front in South Africa. The Second Boer War, which took place from 1899 to 1902, was a conflict between the British Empire and the two Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, and saw significant British casualties. This photograph offers a glimpse into the realities of war in the late 19th century.
