David, can you show any other examples of 2s and 0s written in the same hand?
Sturgy, I like the way your mind works!!

Another roll has the same date which again looks like 1928 so I will go with that.

Thank you both

Looks like "S.S. Moor" (a Union Castle Steamship - which sailed between Southampton and Durban) and "21 10 99".


Shipping records:

The chartered steamship Moor will be ready at Southampton on 21 Oct [1899] for embarkation of officers and men of the ASC for Natal.

This comes from EFV's collection, and is a previously unseen (by me anyway!) photo of men at the rapids on the Tugela about 1.5 km south of Hart's Hill. Though the caption says `'British scouts`', the men look like Boers and all carry Mausers. Morreover there is a partly obliterated label at the bottom.
Can anyone decipher it?
Thanks in anticipation! Rob
