This will undoubtedly upgrade The Castle and change it into a foremost museum and tourist attraction for the benefit of Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula. When Paris was besieged by the Germans in 1870-71, various ways of getting mail into the city were devised. One was a waterborne system by which the letters were soldered into galvanised steel balls and floated down the Seine. To preserve their history a museum will be established at the Regimental HQ in Johannesburg, and a leaflet has been printed. The Museum is looking for donations or loans of any books.
Visitors are welcome.
Donation R 3.00. Scholars and Students free. Tea and biscuits will be served.
