Tanner takes Dawsons
place in Cape Town as OC
Union Troops.

Genl: Lukin is at the
Cape also having returned.
He had a great reception here
on his return.

We have just received
our Kings Colour and the
Union Govt are giving
all the Reg:ts of the Brigade
their Reg:l Colours which
Prince Arthur is presenting
next month - The last parade
of the Old Brigade, I expect.

Yours sincerely
