A little mistake at Derdepoort, near Pretoria.

A large case of children's and women's clothing was found by some of the 1st Mounted Infantry. The case had been sent out by the people of New Zealand for distribution among the refugees, and by some mistake it was sent to the front. Colonel Gordon decided to distribute the clothing amongst the poor Boer women in the surrounding farms.
