Postcard issued to British troops to commemorate taking of Bloemfontein and Pretoria during the Boer War

The printed card reads as follows: ‘Dear….We have raised the royal Standard in the capitals of the late Free State and Transvaal, and the whole Empire rejoices. Military Bands have played ‘God Save the Queen’ on the Market Place in Bloemfontein and Pretoria, and gallant ‘Bobs’ has been cheered to the echo. So in memory of glorious days, I am sending you a card from Yours,…. The handwritten salutation is ‘Sister…’ and on the back DPL has written ‘ Hoping that you are all well as this leaves me the same. DL.’
