| 1899 13th December, homemade wrapper being a folded page from a ledger somewhat crudely sewn at top and right. Endorsed at top 'From G Urlmin B Squadron Plumers Horse (on active service)' and further at lower left countersigned 'Free on active service'. Cancelled 'B.S.A.P. CAMP / BULAWAYO', and addressed to England. Upon arrival endorsed in blue crayon 'T 6' although then apparently deleted, further struck with black '1d / F.B.' cachet'. The wrapper somewhat battered en-route and applied with printed 'V . R . / FOUND OPEN AND OFFICIALLY SEALED' label at left. Reverse with Bulawayo 13 DEC despatch and Watford JA 27 arrival strikes. Some faults but still an item of much character. |
