Rhodesian Postcards: Memorial to Natives who fell in the Great War.



Post card is annotated
Umtali Publicity Association
"Memorial to Natives who fell in the Great War".
Umtali

On the reverse if the card the following text appears: C.T. Ltd

This memorial was referred to as Cross Kopje

There were no indication of production date, however it does seem to be fairly old from the clarity of the picture.
Maybe some readers could shed some light on that postcard and when they think the production date is?

If you can help then please Mail ORAFs with the information.

Thank you to Diarmid Smith for sharing his memories with ORAFs.
