A rare stamp Gi = £ 600.rnrnNote: The National Bank of South Africa returned approximately 50 of the 1 d. brown and 100 of 1868/94 1 s. orange-yellow for overprinting after the Occupation of Bloemfontein on 13 March 1900. The overprinting was done and the stamps returned to the bank. The matter was referred to Major O'Meara who made efforts to recover the stamps. However, the Major's superior Officer, Colonel Williams, was president of Sidney Philatelic Society and it is more than likely that he, and others, shared the spoils, as most of the 50 examples of the 1 d. brown survived, whilst fewer of the initially more abundant 1 s. orange-yellow value (Gi. 110a) appear to have been donated to collectors but were, in actual fact, destroyed.

    Military Frank 1899: 'Commando Brief' (-) black on yellow, Type 1, from upper left corner of the sheet of 20 subjects, a fine used example on 1900 cover to H. A. McQueen of the General Post Office in Bloemfontein endorsed at lower left 'OAS' (On Active Service) cancelled by VOLKSRUST / Z.A.R datestamp (Feb 9). Reverse with Bloemfontein arrival cds (Feb 13) in black. Central file fold but a very rare usage (only known used between October 20, 1899 and February 22, 1900) of the Military Frank on letter Gi = £ 1'750.rnrnNote: The accompanying article from the Transvaal Philatelist (August 2001) speculates, from a comment originally raised by the late Kenneth Griffith and a later article by Richard Stroud, that this cover could be an item of 'check' mail - due to complaints made to the authorities about the time mail took to arrive, items were deliberately placed into the Post to see if the service was indeed running smoothly.
