This fine Australian gives us a close examination of his Lee-Metford rifle.
I have decided. I think that the rough riders will win. They are more of a militairy group then the boers (boers means farmers)
ReplyDeleteI do hope that the boers win because they are the underdog and have more dutch proud. The dutch flag and sybols can be found in both flags
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to realize it too that the Rough Riders have more military discipline and training, and that might make all the difference here.
I also knew that Boer means farmer, and the Dutch flag is in the above flags.
They also use orange (which represents the Royal Dutch Family), that's why I have it (along with green) to represent them, plus being contrasting colours with red and blue (representing the Rough Riders).
Thanks again for voting, and don't worry, no matter how the battle is going to result, everyone (in this match-up) wins in the end.
Hey

ReplyDeleteBut it's going to take time.
