Thanks, I was wondering about Boer War myself - it's a very old, very flimsy photo, and has been burnt at the edge. The terrain looks more sndy than dirt, and to me the helmets point towards a hotter climate.

I tend to agree with your inclination and would say it was taken during the Boer War. However, as Velma suggested, I am sure someone over at the Great War Forum could help confirm this either way - they're a friendly and knowledgeable bunch!
I was thinking the Boer War as well, having the choice. Their uniforms with those helmets for hot weather do not seem the gear that they would have worn in the fields of Ypres. Can't really be WWII as they did not have canons like that anymore, I don't think...
But, yes, have a look on such a military forum, someone is bound to be able to help you there.
