Mervyn Mitton Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 With Rememberance Sunday being today - it seems appropriate to show this letter sent to the relatives of a dead soldier. These were all signed personally by the then Minister for Defence - Gen. Louis BOTHA. He went on to be Prime Minister and was greatly respected by all sections of the population. This is quite a rare letter and has been purchased by Sth. Africa's top library for their collection.
