Spion Kop recaptured by the Boers

28th January 1900

Old Kruger caught in the act of making observations of the British camp by a party of Lancers:- “Ow! Ow!  Oh Lord.  There my shoe’s off, what shall I do?  Oh , for a “Hatton,s Wye Boot Adapted fit” instead pof this old Boer’s boot  Oh, Oh Ooow.
A suggestion for Dad for one of his posters.


This morning to see if there were any telegrams but there were none.  Things have been going badly lately, Spion Kop recaptured by the Boers!!!!!

Rather rummy that Louisa  should thank me through old Ablet, isn’t it?
Goodbye, ’Eaps and ‘eaps of love to all, your loving son Brian

P.S..Those conkers are splendid, nobody can break them

How I’d like to see old kruger….

Kruger:- “Oow, Oow, How I wish I’d got one of Hatton’s adapted fit instead of this Boer boot.
