"Ware Wire" : "Wire-Cutters to the Front". 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, July 14th, 1900," showing a Drawing by G. D. Giles, called "Ware Wire" :  "Wire-Cutters to the Front."

During the advance into the Transvaal the wire fences erected to keep cattle from straying had constantly to be cut to allow the troops to proceed.  A number of men, dubbed the "wire-cutters," who were provided with wire-clippers, were told off to cut the wire and roll it up out of the way of the advancing column.

Condition is Very Good.
