The Guards Marching Past Lord Roberts on his entry into Kroonstad. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, June 16th, 1900," showing a Drawing by Frank Dadd, R.I., for "The Guards Marching past Lord Roberts on his entry into Kroonstad."

When Lord Roberts made his official entry into Kroonstad there was a very impressive ceremony.  The Field-Marshal, with a bodyguard of Colonials and his Staff, rode in at the head of General Pole-Carew's Division.  They took their stand in the Market Square, and the whole of the infantry and artillery filed past.  As Lord Roberts took up his position the Union Jack floated out over the Court-house, and the assembled crowd cheered vociferously. The Dutch stood aloof, much impressed by the spectacle of so many troops.  The infantry had marched seventeen miles, yet the Guards went swinging past in fine style to the accompaniment of the drums and fifes, proud of this fulfilment of Lord Roberts's promise, made after the entry into Bloemfontein, to march at their head into the next capital he occupied.

Condition is Very Good.
