"The reason for this email is just to say that given the Canada / USA interest on Stamporama, you may want to refer your members to Dr Joachim Frank's "Canadian Participation in the Anglo-Boer War". (I prefer "The South African War" as it was one that affected all of SA's people, not just Anglos and Boers). Dr Frank's display is widely regarded as one of the two best displays on this subject - the other is in Canada!

Thanks for that link Roy. I’ve read a couple books on the Boer War over our isolation period and this Philatelic spin was most interesting.
Happy New Year, Dave.
First Canadian overseas expedition was the Anglo-Boer War. The Royal Canadian Regiment has Boer-War battle honours on their colours.
The philately is most interesting.
