EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Victorian Mounted Rifles (VMR), an Australian regiment that played a significant role in the Second Boer War. Established in the mid-1880s by Colonel Tom Price, the VMR was a volunteer force comprised of several contingents, with the 5th Victorian Mounted Rifles being the most renowned. The soldiers in this image proudly display their uniforms, adorned with distinctive Australian insignia, as they stand in a disciplined file. At the end of the row, a real kangaroo, the regimental mascot, adds an authentic Australian touch to the scene. The VMR's unique combination of mounted troops and rifles made them a formidable force on the battlefield. This photograph, taken circa 1908, is a testament to the bravery and dedication of these Australian soldiers who served the British Empire.
