Tomlin, the Head Postmaster in Tientsin reporting on the state of the Field Post Offices in Tientsin and Shanghai; the parlous state of the F.P.O.'s is underscored by the fact that the British Tientsin Post Office was operating from a Junk on the Grand Canal and comments "Capt. Bouch and three of the staff have been withdrawn" - due to safety reasons. Together with the letter Tomlin has included a Greetings card, original photographs (6) including two showing "Tomlin's TPO" with a horse leading a cart on rail tracks, all sold with a further 1928 cover with GB 1½ d. chestnut also tied by "FIELD POST OFFICE / 1" cds.

there sent to Diyatalawa Camp Ceylon where three separate censors
have applied their violet handstamp. One censor en route has
improvised some tape handstamping it "On H Majesty's Service"
(folded out for display). An extraordinary redirected cover,
showing eight censor marks on face, having travelled through four
camps. Remarkable and presumably unique

Sol. 4) - rarely found so fine; this charge deleted and struck with "♚ / FREE" London datestamp (Dec 3) in red. Some docketing but a very fine and rare entire. Note: Agnes Sparling, writing from Poonamallee's Depot, addresses her enquiry to the Secretary of War at Horse Guards. Her husband was invalided home some four years previously from his Regiment and had promised to send money for his wife's support which was not forthcoming. Her father and brother had both recently died and no funds were now available and she asks the Secretary to deduct money from her husband's pension to support herself and two children.

Reverse with Stanger and Durban transit datestamps (Aug 31) and London arrival. Reverse of cover also shows "John Dunn" in manuscript - John Robert Dunn (1834 -1895) was a South African hunter and diplomat of British descent. Born in Port Alfred in 1834, he spent his childhood in Natal, orphaned as a teenager he lived in native dress on land near the Tugela River. He was a friend and confidante of the Zulu chief Cetshwayo. Dunn's 'Wikipedia' entry is entertaining and extraordinary - he fathered no less than 117 children! Note: General Henry Hope Crealock (1831-1891) had a glittering Military career from the Crimean War onwards. He commanded the 1st Division of the Army in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879.

It is interesting to note that the "9" is an inverted "6" as there was no handstamp in Boston for this rate. Full contents with the lot - the Sergeant is looking forward to leaving the Army as the (Northumberland) 5th Fusiliers are departing for Hong Kong. Some ageing due to conditions and journey but a rare usage.

Chief Galeshwe who was eventually captured at Gamasiep on 30 July 1897.
