BOER WAR: BUITENGEWONE STAATS-COURANT ZUID AFRIKAANSCHE IN SOUTH AFRICA

 Boer War: Buitengewone Staats-Courant Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek  (Dated 27 November 1899). This item is an ORIGINAL,  period piece and is in EXCELLENT CONDITION.  A physical reminder of the most prominent conflict that shaped South Africa's history. This Buitengewone Staats-Courant was published on Monday, the 27th of November 1899 -  a month after the outbreak of hostilities at Colenso. The body of text is printed in Dutch and proclaims that all free citizens (burghers) of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek,  who qualify for and who have been called up for military service / commando duties - are no longer able to cancel their life insurance policies.  This was legislated to prevent the premature withdrawal of funds associated with policies due to the possibility of early death associated with conflict.   The text of the document is clear and is not obscured. Please note that the item is nearly 120 years old - so the paper will show signs of age and some discolouration.   An ideal historical piece, documenting the early days of the Anglo-Boer War, from the perspective of those living in the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek. A wonderful addition that would take pride of place to any collection of Boer memorabilia.   FOREIGN BIDDERS TO PAY USING BOB BUCKS -QUOTED SHIPPING  NO COLLECTIONS  PAYMENT IN 7 DAYS OR SNC  SEE SHIPPING
