A Boer War Shell Memento
A 35mm. explosive steel shell, complete with screw-fitted brass nose-cap, in a spent brass cartridge-case of the same calibre, the latter ingeniously made to resemble a lighthouse by the addition of steps, a door and two narrow windows, the door and windows of fine white metal, the shell-case inscribed, '1900:1/Capt. McDonald/Boer War'
