Anglo Boer War Newspaper (Mafeking): Special Siege Slips: Numbers 35 & 48 dated 20 December 1899 & 8 January 1900

Because they were printed on tissue-like paper (one side only), their condition are not good.

The two editions come with a third page from another unknown edition. They are stored in an old folder entitled MAFEKING MAIL Siege Numbers.

Please see the following pictures

According to an internet source:

"The Mafeking Mail published 'Siege Slips' daily 'shells permitting', as the editor, G N H Whales proudly declared from its masthead. There were some days when enemy shellfire did indeed stop production. The first issue came out on November 1st 1899, and by the time the Siege was over on May 17th 1900, the 217th day of the Siege, 143 issues had been printed. They were not, as a rule, produced on Saturdays and Sundays, and no issue was printed on the day of the Relief. Siege Slips continued to be produced until Wednesday May 30th 1900, for though the Siege may have been lifted, the Boer War was still going on".
