Description

One of the "Boer War & Golf" series, this cricketer seems at odds with such a Baines series but his death as a soldier in 1900 may date this series! Frank William Milligan had played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club, and he was also a test match cricketer with England, with whom he toured South Africa in 1898-99 as a member of Lord Hawke's cricket tourists side -  then he joined up and got himself killed fighting Dutch people in a Dutch colony as Britain invaded their land, in what is now South Africa. He fought and died so international diamond miners would profiteer. Alas. Sold as seen - and do SEE THIS amateur video by a self-adoring fan. Get past the fan and there's some interesting stuff on Frank:
