This fantastic shot was taken in Australia circa 1899. Thought to be the Queensland Imperial Bushmen and their mounts departing for the Boer War.
Why We Like It
Partly because this image is a piece of Australian and South African history and a time when wars were still fought largely on horseback. It’s also a relatively clean shot, for one so old. It’s an action shot as well, if you look at the ramp to the ship, you’ll see soldiers chasing a horse onto it.
