I started a thread recently for Taddy's Boer War V.C. Heroes
www.angloboerwar.com/forum/19-ephemera/8...tte-cards-v-c-heroes
They made produced another set at the time Boer Leaders, these are rarer because they are a smaller set and I suppose they were not collected as much as the V.C.
This is the first I have managed to acquire.

Hello Paul,
I suspect they are rarer because everyone wanted them, De Wet, in particular!

Paul,

How interesting. I hadn't seen these before so definitely something look out for in the future.

Best wishes

They dont come along very often, managed to get this one for a reasonable bid on Ebay.

Perhaps as elusive, to you, today, as he was himself, to so many members of the British Army and SAMIF, in particular, the Prince of Wales Light Horse who spent so much time chasing the bugger across the veldt! :(
