This is a photograph of the Klee brothers in uniform, taken sometime during the Boer War (1899-1902). From left: Louis, George and Victor Klee. They all survived the war and took up farming in the South Island of New Zealand. Victor later turned to a number of careers, including gold mining, where he met his wife, nicknamed Miss Gold. He, in turn, was Mr Silver.
