1899 Active Service Letter to London endorsed at top as from "H Branwhite - Tpr - Natal Police Force, Tugela Ferry - Natal". Greytown cds DE 14 99.

Interesting early letter from the British side of the Natal campaign. Uncommon illustration of the failure to adhere to concessionary military rate requirements being applied punitively. VF.
