TWO HISTORICAL CUTTINGS

[Mervyn Mitton]

People tend to keep cuttings of famous events - but, few last the test of time. These two turned-up in an old envelope on a store shelf and I thought I would post them for their historic information. Remember, all of this will be in books and on the internet - however, these cuttings are the news as reported to the public at the time. The one for the campaign against the Germans in South West Africa in 1915/16 is good in that it reports casualties. I hope they are legible ?

This cutting covers the Peace Terms imposed by the British in 1902 to conclude the Boer War (1899-1902). I have split the cutting into two parts.
