A few snaps of Mounted Infantry from four Boer War albums that were reproduced for the Gentlemans Military Interest Club and for whom I give thanks for being able to reproduce them here.

Members of the 18th M.I. picking their mounts - A closer look appears to show a tartan patch on the side of the FSH. As the owner originally served with the Seaforths contingent of this unit, then it is possible that's who they are.

Members of the Black Watch contingent, 12th M.I. in their slouch hats - Although not plainly visible here a closer look, appears to show what would be their red hackle protruding.

Sgt Major Ashton, 12th M.I. wearing the FSH, with no visible insignia.

An interesting shot of both the Doctor & Vet of 12th M.I., wearing both variations of the FSH. Again no insignia visible.

An officer group of 12th M.I. again showing both patterns of FSH being worn. One to the right has an unidentified cloth patch on the left hand side of his.
