When soldiers from Queensland joined British forces for the South African War, The Queenslander newspaper was there to record their involvement. From 1899 to 1902, reports and photographs appeared in the weekly newspaper, including many hundreds of portraits of the soldiers.
Search our database below for the names of soldiers whose portraits appeared in 1899-1902 issues of The Queenslander newspaper.
