Message: I am working on a display exhibit detailing the life of Gen. Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck. I am accordingly collecting military material from his various postings such as during the Boxer Rebellion, the Herero Uprising in GSWA, Kamerun, and GEA. Vorbeck was born in March 1870 in Saarlouis, then part of Prussia. I am in deperate need of an exhibit quality cover with an 1870 Saarlouis date and would appreciate any assistance. Anyone having colonial material related to the dates when Vorbeck was stationed at different venues would also be welcomed. Any and all queries will be answered with gratitude. Regards, Ed Andrews.
