Group of Union Defence Force officers c 1913-14


Most of the officers are wearing the new Active Citizen Force drab uniform with dark green facings and cap bands. Colonels Bouwer, Brits and an unidentified staff officer are wearing the more familiar service dress jacket with step collar. Brig-Gen Beyers (seated at centre) is wearing a blue frock coat that was part of the dress options for senior officers at the time.
