Hi
Yonge was one of the first Rhodesians to be Killed in Action
The late Donald Hall bid for me on the QSA in May 1986, and with premium, commission and registered air mail it cost me £155-: with theRand/£ exchange rate at the time it worked out at just under R600-. The Glendinning estimate was £80-100.
