| RA2219 |
1896 21st March, cover with
stamps lacking, sent from Umtali addressed to London. Endorsed in red
ink ‘Recovered from Mail stolen by the Rebels at Shangani (initials) P
O Bul. / Contents Missing’. The cover duly delivered to London with
arrival backstamp dated 11th July.
This cover left Umtali on the day the Matabele Rebellion broke out. The mailcoach was attacked by rebels between Gwelo and Bulawayo and abandoned by the occupants near Shangani. The coach was looted by the rebels and the mail scattered over the road. Six weeks later the mail was retrieved and this cover, muddy and with the adhesive(s) washed off, was endorsed to this effect. The initials ‘CR’ are those of C. Ross, assistant Postmaster in Bulawayo, the envelope eventually being delivered to the addressee in London. A remarkable and famous item, arguably one of the most important and characterful from the early and turbulent early settlement era of the country. Ex. Michael, Knight. |
