I recently purchased a stamped and addressed envelope to one of my "men", Richard Reynolds who was a POW at Green Point. The vendor, an American gentleman, mistakenly sent me the wrong item - an envelope to JJ Badenhorst which was posted from the OFS. I have checked the ABW site and find that there were 2 Burghers with the same initials and surname, although only one who hailed from the Free State - a chap who served with the Harrismith Commando (although the letter was posted from Hoopstad)

Does anyone have this chaps medal? I would be happy to pass on the item to the family or collector.

The vendor has agreed to send me the correct envelope at no charge.



Regards

Rory
