Hi Mike,
I found the photo album I have on Richmond Hospital. It was put out by the South African Hospital and comforts fund c.1917 and titled 'Views of South African Hospital Richmond Park S.W.', consisting of a number of A5 size photographs of the going on's within the hospital.
Unfortunately there are only two photographs of officers (both Captains) sitting at there desk and none look like Pearson. Also there are no names or descriptions, so sorry no luck here.
I noted that he was involved with the Natal Medical Corps. They still exist today as number 1 Field Ambulance, SAMHS. I believe Alex Rice, a forum member here, is or was a piper for this unit and the unit may well have pictures of Col Pearson.
