In addition, there is a cover from South Australia inbound to "H.M.C.S. Protector" at Hong Kong (the only recorded example of mail related to South Australian participation in suppressing the Boxer uprising), two covers from FPO 4 and Base Office B (both at Tientsin), sent by members of the Victorian Naval Contingent (only eight such covers recorded). An important collection, usual condition, extremely rare (as part of the British contribution to putting down the Boxer uprising, the Australian Colonies sent a number of expeditionary forces to China. At the time, the majority of Australian forces were engaged in the Boer War in South Africa so Naval contingents from three Australian states (South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria), including reservists and ex-navy personnel, were sent to offer support through coastal defense. The first Australian contingents, mostly from New South Wales and Victoria, sailed in August 1900. Australian personnel sent to northern China arrived too late to be engaged in combat. Six Australians died of sickness and injury and none were killed as a result of enemy action) (Image)
