| These two photographs depict a trooper of the 2nd Life Guards just prior to the Anglo-Boer War. He is identified on the reverse of this image and the same inscription states that he died in South Africa. Unfortunately his name is very hard to decipher - a very common occurrence when trying to read 19th Century hand writing. His last name appears to be Hunt. The very first part of the inscription may be an abbreviation of his first name or perhaps his rank or trade in the Guards. The last part of the first line seems to be a "D" followed by a "S" and then a compressed "africa". The writer seems to have run out of room then rewritten the same information more completely on the left hand side. "2nd Life Guards" can be read quite clearly.
