The wounded soldier's best friend: sending invalids from Ladysmith to Maritzburg. From a sketch by our special artist W.T. Maud ; drawn by Frank Dadd, R.I. ... Lettering continues: "Our special artist in Ladysmith writes:- "All the wounded who were able to travel were sent off to Maritzburg before the beginning of the seige. There was a general exodus after the battle of Lonmbard's Kop as it was only a matter of time for the railway to be stopped. The nurses were very busy all day helping the men into the waggons to take them to the station. The arrangements for the fare of the wounded were complete in every respect"
