This most interesting photograph was taken by a member of the 9th Lancers during the memorable siege of Ladysmith. Major Poore, the well known Hampshire cricketer, is easily distinguishable to those who know him. The picture was sent to Mrs Merrill of 75, St. Philip's Road, to whom we are indebted for this reproduction.
