1882 SOLDIER'S LETTER from Pinetown (cds 28 AU, part numeral 6 canceller) to England. The PENNY CONCESSIONARY RATE paid with single Natal QV 1d. The sender was "No797 T Heap 6th Dragoons" the cover bearing required endorsements and Officer's countersignature for this military concessionary rate. Some traces light ageing, a superior pleasing example of this early period campaign mail from the regiment deployed to quell unrest following the Zulu War and First Boer War. Rare.
