I like those bound copies of the Times. Hadn't seen those before.

Great bookcase too!

Best wishes

Hello Paul,
How many toy soldiers have you got? this might be the tip of the iceberg, have you any Boer War ones?
Regards Frank

what are the two on the left next to the Elandslaagte roll?

I recognize the second one is the Spink's special Boer War Auction catalogue....

Coldstream and any others interested
Back in the early 70's the State Library of NSW had (and probably still has - somewhere) bound volumes of the daily editions of The Times which covered the period of the ABW. On very heavy paper and the bound volumes weighed a ton! They were full of most interesting info; I wanted to look at the home front perspective on the Tugela Hts/ RofL actions and - as much as possible - leaving out good old Hindsight. Whimsically, I would imagine that, in the later stages of the war, the opposition would also find gems of info in the press.
Well done, Coldstream.

Hello Frank
No thats all the Napoleonic I have, I have a few Britians soldiers that I will photograph and show you.
I think they are of the period but not 100% working today so will post later
