” Members of the Association will recall we were looking at arranging a virtual tour of the Coulson VC battle ,and a visit to his grave, to be viewed on line. As might be expected ,the South African battlefield guide has been prevented from doing this , due to local restrictions, and apologises for his inability to deliver this to KOSB Association members.”
