Photograph showing a long line of soldiers hauling a large gun up a rocky hillside during the Boer War in South Africa, 1900-1902 (c). In the background another soldier looks through a telescope mounted on a tripod. The original negative appears to have been retouched to highlight certain lines and features in the image.

From a collection of 102 photographs taken and/or collected by civilian photographer William Cox, who worked alongside early filmmaker William Kennedy-Laurie Dickson in South Africa during the Boer War for British Mutoscope and Biograph Company.
Associated with the Boer War (1899-1902).
