The 'Missing' West Hartlepool Boer War Memorial Black & White Postcard

An original glossy finish black and white photographic postcard, postally unused. Light corner wear and light creasing but in good overall condition.

Over 50 years ago the stature was stolen. Folks in the region are in the process of raising funds to fund a replacement, see:
