THE MAFEKING MAIL--SPECIAL SIEGE SLIP, South Africa, April 30, 1900
* Rare Boer War issue
Fascinating newspaper published during the Boer War under "siege" conditions. Note above the dateline: "Issued Daily, Shells Permitting" and also: "200th Day of Siege".
A single sheet paper printed on rather thick stock paper due to lack of newsprint, various war news & other items including "Mafeking Garrison - General Orders" by Col. R.S.S. Baden-Powell, who would become the founder of the Boy Scouts.
Measures 8 by 13 inches, excellent condition.
