Boer War: the funeral procession for a military nurse, with soldiers pulling the funeral cart. Halftone, c. 1900, after W. S. Gillard.
Description
English: THE FUNERAL OF MISS MARY KINGSLEY: THE PROCESSION IN THE MAIN STREET OF SIMONSTOWN
Miss Mary Kingsley, the African traveller, had been nursing Boer prisoners of war, and died from the effects of an operation on Whitsun Day. By her own expressed wish she was buried at sea the next day. The coffin was removed from the main branch at Simonstown, where Miss Kingsley died, and was taken to the Town Pier, the procession being headed by the band of the West Yorks. There the body was placed on Torpedo Boat No. 29, and was taken out beyond Cape Point and committed to the deep. The Rector of Simonstown, as Military Chaplain, officiated. Our photograph is by W. S. Gillard, Simonstown.
Afrikaans: DIE BEGRAFNIS VAN JUFFR. MARY KINGSLEY: DIE PROSESSIE IN SIMONSTAD SE HOOFSTRAAT
Mej. Mary Kingsley, die Afrika-reisiger, het Boere-krygsgevangenes verpleeg en is op Pinksterdag dood aan die nagevolge van 'n operasie. Volgens haar eie uitgesproke wens is sy die daaropvolgende dag ter see begrawe. Die kis is by die hooftak-Simonstad, waar Mej. Kingsley oorlede is, afgehaal en is na die dorpskaai vervoer, terwyl die optog gelei is deur die orkes van die West Yorks. Daar is die liggaam op die Torpedoboot nr. 29 geplaas en is anderkant Kaappunt tot die diepte verbind. Die rektor van Simonstad het as militêre kapelaan waargeneem. Ons foto is deur W. S. Gillard, Simonstad, geneem.
