South Africa Upington Border Scouts 10 Shillings 1.4.1902 Pick S713a PMG Very Fine 30. The Upington Border Scouts served far away from home during the Second Boer War at first, but when the long unpaid troops returned home to Upington, they found that the town only had £20 in funds. Another shortage in the town was paper. Therefore, these wartime emergency notes were produced on unbleached calico cloth in various denominations. "Issued By / Paymaster B. Supington" was printed at top. The emblem of the Border Scouts was stamped at left and the signature of "J. Birkbeck, Major, O.C." is at lower right. The example on offer is uncancelled, and unusual as such, as the vast majority were cancelled. The Pick Plate note is in Hern's South African banknotes. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/south-africa-upington-border-scouts-10-shillings-141902-pick-s713a-pmg-very-fine-30/a/4036-25753.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4036-04212022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
