Easter Greetings from Ladysmith

Easter Greetings from Ladysmith

With Easter Greetings

Torn from my coat

I send to thee

This piece of old 

And worn Khaki

The item was created by Lance Corporal Tipson who was serving with the 3rd Battalion King’s Royal Rifle Corps in South Africa.  He took part in the Relief of Ladysmith in March 1900 and sent these greetings home for Easter.
