Sam Richey Boer War cover–coloured

RicheySoldiersCanCon
Another example of a cover contemporary to the J.C. Wilson series, a Sam Richey “Soldiers of the Queen Canadian Contingent” cover. This one has not been used by a soldier in the Boer War, but appears to be a locally released variation with the text added “Used by the Soldiers in South Africa As Supplied By The Canadian Government”. This copy is a colour printing, unlike the black & white printing posted from actual use in South Africa.
