| Australian troops with a captured Boer Maxim-Nordenfelt automatic cannon. The British government had turned down the Maxim-Nordenfelt a few years earlier, but the Boers loved them and used them against the British. |
 |
| A British observation balloon. This was one of the first wars to see such a devise used. |
 |
| A British Maxim machine gun. This was before the Vickers machine gun. Notice the smooth water jacket covered by a leather hand guard and the very large ladder sight. |
 |
| British troops in trenches. Despite all the newer technology - things like the Maxim-Nordenfelt, observation balloons, and machine guns, quite a bit of fighting was done with old tactics in trenches. |
