re: Lets hear it for the Boers !!!

No cheers for the Boers, here, Phil.

Canada served in the South African War by sending the Royal Canadian Regiment, the Canadian Mounted Rifles, and others.

There is a War Memorial to the Canadian fallen of the South African War in downtown Ottawa. As well, a bridge (the Pretoria Bridge), named for our victory at said city.

God Save The Queen.

I'm sure of the same here-covers of this nature in F/VF condition (after looking on line) seam to go for $100.00 and up but mine in this condition likely to bring $20-$30 tops-and I may be pushing it. As this is the only Transvaal Boer War cover I own I'm keep it.
