Thanks Mikey, we got the helmets (repro) from various sources. I still have a couple of Vietnamese repro's in stock. If you want to sell any, best thing would be to write to the Boerwar Forum on Yahoo.
Excellent film, gentlemen. My best wishes for a speedy recovery to the unfortunate Lancer. Boer War is tiny but growing here in the US. We've a way to go before we reach your level, but we try. Always good to see more Victorians! Keep up the good work!
From the unfortunate lancer: Makes my leg twitch watching that. It just shows what good shots the Boers were ! Perhaps one of my better horse falls. Phil.
Huzzah gentlemen, an epic piece of film work there, i regretted not having been able to see the actual skirmish on the day but i was occupied in the napoleonic display. this however makes up for it nicely!
Thanks! I didn't actually shoot the footage myself (I was shooting a rifle instead!) so I had to work with what I got :-). Next time, I will use a tripod and sit on the sidelines.
Wonderful footage, Uncle! The tent fire looks so realistic!!! :)))

Can you tell me where you got your foreign service helmets and covers?
I have a large collection of good "Cork" repro
helmets and one original 1902 dated helmet.
I am always on the look out for more, especially the covers, havelock and spine pads.
Good video.

Thanks! I expect you guys will be doing things on a grand scale before long and we look forward to a joint event at some point in the future.

The Lancer who fell at 5.30, broke his lower leg in 3 places, both bones in the leg have now been bolted back together.
