EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite menu card, designed by the renowned graphic artist Mr. Leighton Ward, announces a special send-off supper for the Cape Squadron of the Royal Horse Guards, held at Hyde Park Barracks on the 27th of November, 1899. As the soldiers prepared to depart for South Africa to participate in the Second Boer War, their comrades and loved ones gathered to bid them farewell with a grand feast. The menu offers a delightful array of South-African themed dishes, reflecting the exotic flavors and rich cultural heritage of the region. The main course features Mafeking Mutton, a succulent dish named after the siege of Mafeking, a significant victory during the war. Accompanying the mutton are Pretoria pheasants, a rare and delicious game bird native to the region. The appetizers include Melon and Pineapple, a refreshing combination that would have been a welcome treat for the soldiers, who were about to embark on a long and arduous journey. The dessert course promises a delightful surprise with Cape Malay Pudding, a traditional sweet dish infused with exotic spices and fruits. This menu card, preserved by the Illustrated London News Ltd and now available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Second Boer War and the special moments shared by the soldiers and their loved ones before they set off to defend their country.
