South African Royston's Horse RH Large Souch Hat Brass Letters - Of Australian interest

An early thickly cast brass metal RH joined with two large integral fixing lugs to the reverse. Circa 45mm wide and 17mm tall. Royston's Horse wore this during the 1906 Natal Rebellion. They were cast in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. Circa 45mm wide and 17mm tall. Rare. Thank you to Andrew for the correct identification.

See here for more information on Royston himself which confirms that the men he commanded in 1906 were mainly Australians who had remained behind in South Africa after the Boer War ended.
