Hi again,
Well I think you have a really lovely group of items, I like the discharge certificate in particular, signed by Col Steele himself!
Regards Frank.

Hi Frank, yes and that's only a portion of the letters I have about 10 in all including some from TransvaalColony, Carolina, Northern Division.

I'm glad someone else is taken with them.

Thank you for showing an amazing collection of items from the SAC. I wonder how many other SAC tunics have survived in such good condition? Few, if any, I suspect.

I know of at least one collector who will be very envious of these family relics.

Regards
Brett

I have recieved some photos of documents that Audrey was able to access. George Snr's attestation papers, showing he signed for 3 years:



I have many others but also quite interestingly he bought himself out early for £15 that is the equivalent of £1436.10 in todays money:
