Not strictly a postcard but an interesting postal envelope.



When troop numbers were beginning to mount in South Africa, in particular Pretoria and Capetown. George Bundricks and Company were encouraged to produce a pictorial souvenir envelope in May 1900. Sergeant F. A Stevenson of the Cape Garrison Artillery designed the format and several editions of the envelope were produced.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Best regards,
Dave
