Crossing the North Kaap River, 20 September 1900: The Royal Irish Regiment This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Second Boer War, as the Royal Irish Regiment bravely crosses the North Kaap River on 20 September 1900. The image is taken from a collection of 156 photographs that were presented to Major General Horace Smith-Dorrien, the Commanding Officer of the 19th Brigade, showcasing its operations in South Africa between July and October of that year. The North Kaap River, located in the Eastern Transvaal, was a significant obstacle for British forces during their advance against the Boer Republics. The crossing presented a formidable challenge due to the strong currents and the possibility of hidden mines. The Royal Irish Regiment, a respected and decorated infantry regiment of the British Army, was tasked with leading the way. The soldiers in the photograph can be seen wading through the river, their rifles slung over their shoulders, as they carefully make their way across the treacherous waters. The sun sets in the background, casting a golden glow over the scene, highlighting the determination and courage of the soldiers as they complete this crucial mission. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of the Boer War, providing a glimpse into the challenges faced by British forces during their campaign in South Africa. It serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience displayed by the soldiers of the Royal Irish Regiment and their role in shaping the outcome of this significant conflict.
