That wasn't a bad price to pay for the card but I was not the buyer. My collection of these cards is purely digital.

I notice that Christian Beyers seems to have been far too busy in the Zoutpansberg, doubtless, expending a horrendous amount of expanding ammunition to even think about a getting portrait! :(

Frank,

I hadn't given any thought to the men not listed in the series and wonder know what criteria was used to choose them?

Hello David,
I think you had to be "up there" already, people like Beyers and Maritz were yet to make a name for themselves, of course it did not take them too long, moreover, afterwards they became notorious after their complete and utter betrayal of the Union! :(
Kind regards Frank

Piet Cronje's card to add to the set. We now have 55% of the cards so a few still to go!
