Mafeking Siege Stamp http://www.sossi.org/articles/siegecancel.htm

Hello Rick, Thanks for all the extra information. I seem to be able to find the documents alot easier than I do info about the soldiers. Hello Paul, I should be able to get some pictures of the musket next week. It has a great story behind it. At the end of the Civil War my family put the musket up in a tree so that union soldiers wouldn't find it. Everything else was burned. They got the musket and went to Texas to be with other side of the my family. The documents are out there. You just have to find them. thanks, barry

Hello Chris, Is it possible to track down any info(awards listed) on the British officer H Osborne Mann. It looks as though he may have been in some action. thanks, barry

What is a B.P.'s head Mafeking Siege stamp... thanks, barry

Hello Rick, I don't have any information on these soldiers but I did find Farmington. My family during the American Revolution fought in the Southern Campaign (Kings Mountain, Ramseur's Mill, Musgrove Mill, Cow Pens, Fishing Creek and others). The most famous was Capt. John Barry from South Carolina. We still have Capt. John Barry's musket that he used during the war. Would you like to see some pictures of it. I would... However it's locked up in a vault so it could take sometime. I'll see what I can do. Farmington
