British/ South African WWI & Boer War
Officer Medal, Document & Original
Artwork Grouping - TOP!
Fantastic named grouping to Capt.
Harry McCormick. He served in the 6th MG
Corps of the 2nd Division BEF. He was a
POW of the Germans after being wounded
and would die of his wounds on May 8,
1917. Comes with his original medals
(one officially engraved) and other
insignia, large binder full of
documents, letters and amazing original
artwork - really professionally done.
The person I bought this from said he
had heard the man was an artist at some
point for Punch magazine. one can see
how that would be true. Contains many
letters he wrote to his girlfriend/wife
(they both called each other "Billy").
Also comes with three additional
scrapbooks with more artwork there is
also original artwork he did during his
tie fighting in the Boer War! Very nice
portrait photo of him in uniform. the
daughter daughter he had with Mary
Sieveling went on to become a famous
Boston ballet dancer and instructor. POW
letter gives details of his wounding,
capture and death.
