A BOER FLAG.
A MEMENTO OF THE WAR. [By Telegraph—Press Association]. Auckland, last night. The Transvaal flag, captured by the Sixth Contingent on Easter Monday, has been forwarded by Captain Nigel Markham to Mr John Menzies, manager and secretary of the Northern Club. In a covering letter Captain Markham states : “We had a merry gallop, but not much fighting, our losses being two officers and two men killed. Give my kind regards to all friends, and toll them I thought they would like to have a memento of the war.” The Boer flag is 4yds in length by 2yds in width, and will be an interesting memento for the Northern Club.
