Dressed in the uniform of the Imperial
Yeomanry Corporal Bert is pictured with
his wife Winnie who also appears to be
ready to head out on campaign against
the Boers. She wears the same type of
slouch hat as he does, has in what all
probability his bandoleer draped across
her shoulder and holds a small caliber
pistol. Her heavy skirt appears to be
made of the same wool fabric as Bert's
uniform. She looks more intimidating
than he does!
Bert's uniform insignia are all the
"Prince of Wales Plume" type that were
used by many Yeomanry units. Because
this photograph was taken in
Hertfordshire it is possible that Bert was
a member of the Hertfordshire Imperial
Yeomanry.
