Hi Gary

Well mate, you might not have had much of a sore head, but you could have been suffering a bout of double vision, hence the double posting, :lol: :lol:

Hi Gary (90th), Springbok and Pete (Admin).

These photo's that you are posting are indeed much appreciated, and it's very good of you to share them with all of us on the forum.

Pete is doing a fine job posting them up on the site, even though he must be rushed off his feet.

The old album photo's are great, and springboks pictures are brilliant (especially for those of us who have not much hope of ever getting to S.A.)

I am sure that I speak for all of the members when I say a big THANK YOU to all three of you.

Well done those men.

Martin. Salute

Hi Martin

Gary (90th) and Pete (Admin).

Again, many thanks for these pictures, much appreciated.

Martin. Salute

That's the last of them. Sad

Thanks for the PM 90th and thanks for these photos. A unique pictorial record of some very brave men.

90th
The photo of isandlwana, numbered 23, do you have a date on it?
The comparison with a modern day shot shows a huge shape change over the years

Once again thanks for sharing.

Cheers Mate

Hi Springbok .
I'm sure I've seen this photo reproduced in several books over the years and although the photo is undated in the Album , I believe its late 1879 - 1881 . I'm not home so unfortunately cant check any of the books .
Cheers 90th You need to study mo

Im going to send Admin a photo taken last month from the same angle and distance, the difference over 140 years is huge.

Cheers

Hi Springbok .
Although I havent as yet been to Isandlwana I can tell from the books I've read and from what others have posted on here and written in books and elsewhere that
the vegetation has increased many many times over since 1879 . I think I read somewhere that Ian Knight said 90 % in some areas !!.
Cheers 90th. Salute

Hi 90th
Not really the vegetation, the whole mountain shape has changed. the lower plateau is a lot lower and flatter.

Cheers
