Cape Town Highlanders

An interesting image of the South African volunteer regiment - The Cape Town Highlanders. The unit saw action in Bechuanaland (1896-97) and during the Boer War. It also saw action in both World Wars. It is still in existence as a volunteer unit in the South African Defense Forces today.
