Thank you great stuff
Fascinating piece of the South African Continent Postal History. As a 2nd Boer War collector, with emphasis on the Canadian Contingents, I am interested in the dynamics that played out and lead to The SA Union in 1911. Great article and newsletter, and interesting items clearly displayed.
