This photograph of Campbeltown at the time of the Boer War is one of Maureen Bell of Torchoillean’s archive.

Maureen is not sure whether the soldiers are going off to or coming back from the war. One thing for sure, her grandfather, the journalist Edward Keith is seated front left. The Boer War is remembered in Campbeltown also with the naming of Mafeking Place. Does anyone know the identity of the soldiers concerned?
