Part of Laager, Matabeleland (Impagi), 1890
Scope and Contents
Showing part of the camp with the searchlight and steam engine (see Y3052A/30) at the left of the print, a row of wagons and men and equipment in the foreground. The location is presumably Impadi rather than Impagi, a spot about two thirds of the way between Tuli and the Umzingwane. The advance road making party reached the Umzingwane on July 10th, the day before the main body set out from Fort Tuli. The main column would have reached Impadi on about July 14th 1890.
