War Correspondence Between South Africa and Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, 1902 to 1914, all referring to the search for a Canadian soldier (who eventually went missing) in Transvaal, Mr. Denis Willoughby Baker. These were either sent to, or from Johannesburg or Sault Ste Marie, or Ottawa (these are free franked with keyhole-style datestamps on OHMS stationery envelopes). A letter dated 1910 is on mourning government stationery from Department of Militia and Defense to the mother in Sault Ste Marie announcing "Militia land Warrant N. 6535 was issued to Dennis W. Baker for service in the South African Constabulary. His address at the time was ... Transvaal, South Africa". A letter from Mr. Baker to his mother (the last one, we believe) is dated 1910 and says in part "have been away in Portuguese East Africa and up the Zambesi River...". The mother apparently then lost touch with her son, inquired as to his whereabouts and many letters follow (included in this lot), one of which we have scanned online. It would seem that by the last letter in 1914 they were still looking for him. There are 8 envelopes with contents plus another 25 or so letters without envelopes, some personal, some official. There are serious condition problems, mostly with the envelopes, but pretty much all the contents and letters are easily readable, not to say fascinating. (Image)
