26 29 September 2011 (Fourth Session, Lots ) British Empire & Foreign Countries 179 The Richard Stroud Collection of the Orange Free State Richard Stroud has had a life-long interest in philately, firstly with the line-engraved issues of Great Britain. It was in the early 1970s that Richard turned his attention to Southern Africa and began to form collections from the Rhodesias and the Orange Free State (OFS), with an increasing awareness of the Anglo-Boer War (ABW). It was about 1975 that he became a member of both the Orange Free State Study Circle (OFSSC) and the Anglo-Boer War Philatelic Society (ABWPS). Initially his interest in the ABW was broad but soon realised that deeper study of the War s impact on the OFS was more rewarding. Thus over 30 years of selecting and researching fine postal history has resulted in his current collection of the Republican period and the ABW period. Within the OFSSC, Richard has been Secretary since 1979 and Editor of the OFS Bulletin since In the ABWPS, Richard was Treasurer and Secretary for some years before becoming Editor of the Anglo-Boer War Philatelist (ABWP) in 1985, a position that he held until The ABWP provided him with a means of publishing his research into many areas of ABW philately and offering help to those with problems in their own areas. The camps for Boer POWs in Ceylon had also interested him in his initial collecting and he published a postal history of those camps in Another publication nearing completion is a postal history of the burgher, refugee and concentration camps in South Africa during the War. His researches and writings, and general contribution to philately, have been well recognised by the Philatelic Federation of South Africa. Firstly he received a Federation Plaque in 1998, then the prestigious Skinner Cup in 2002, and finally the high recognition of the Manfred Weinstein Memorial Medal in Richard is also President of the Somerset & Dorset Philatelic Federation and a Fellow and Past-President of the Society of Postal Historians.
