The fascinating enclosed letter from Khartoum includes "The fun started at 6pm on Thursday 27th November ..... I was ready to go to the club but the sound of musketry altered my plans. Instead I reported to the palace where I was employed in getting it ready for the defence of British families. At 8pm six of us reinforced the few tommies guarding the War Office where fully equipped Sudanese machine gunners were camped. At midnight I was detailed to cover working parties round Gordon statue erecting machine guns. At 6.30am I was detailed to round up a party of mutineers and kill or capture them. We accounted for a few ........ last time I went to Omdurman I was surrounded by hordes of the wives of killed or captured mutineers". A very scarce cover during the brief reintroduction of censorship, just six 1924 censored covers recorded by Firebrace. Photo on Page 237. (Image1)
