    Hi Mike

    Absolutely stunning piece of history. I love when all possible has survived and have been kept together.

    Mike,

     

    Along way from the Boer War but an absolutely wonderful group. I envy you.  I would love to have that group in my collection.  Enjoy it!

     

    Regards,

     

    Gordon
