Is there a website that shows the uniforms of Boer War regiments, specifically for other ranks?

I have photos of two brothers in their uniforms, which are different. I know that one of them served & died with the East Lancashire Militia. If I could find a picture of the uniforms it might help me put a name to one of the photos.

Here's one, I hope. Now I'll try to shrink the second one and post that.

I seem to be a very junior member, indeed. I can't seem to successfully upload the image although it looks correct in the additional options box.

Does anyone have any suggestions how we can overcome this problem for Questor. I've taken the images down to 40kb & they still wont attach.

If you don't have your own web space then use photobucket as mentioned in one of the replies in that thread. It works! :D

Without further ado, here are the photos:

Many thanks to all who guided me through this process! But ... I can't see the "Insert Image" icon, so I have just pasted the Photobucket URLs below!
