Dear All

this is interesting because he has everything South African since the Zulu war to WW1.

This is Major Knott, the man that was responsible for cutting of Bambata's head with the regimental doctor. He served in the annexation of the Transvaal, was in the party with the recovery of the body of the Prince Imperial.

Enjoy

Munroe
