Hello from unusually chilly Taiwan,

I joined up after discovering the forum while searching for information on some Boer War ancestors of mine. There certainly is a wealth of information on AngloBoerWar.com. I have a very keen interest in South African military history for the period 1870-1945, especially conflicts involving Natal units.

Cheers,

Mark

Welcome Mark,

Like the avatar!

Best wishes

Thanks for the welcome, David !
Was thinking what to use for an avatar and then remembered the old cigarette tin sitting on the self next to my desk and took a photo of it.

Cheers,

Mark

Hello and Welcome Mark......

"Was thinking what to use for an avatar and then remembered the old cigarette tin sitting on the self next to my desk and took a photo of it."

This is actually a Chocolate Box.....

The other boxes are for Cigarettes, The Scots Grey's one is post Boer War about 1905-1910 but at on time was thought to be of the Boer War period.......

And all these years I thought it was a cigarette tin. Don't smoke but do enjoy chocolate so I'm very happy to learn I have a chocolate tin and not a cigarette tin as my avatar.
Thanks, Mike !

Cheers,
