England v South Africa 1932 – Original programme with documents

Item Number:  5150

This rare and highly collectable of Rugby Union memorabilia is an original match programme for the match between England and South Africa played at Twickenham on 2 January 1932. Apart from a small vertical crease, it is presented in good condition.

Part of a large private collection (more of the collection can be viewed on this website), the owner has in some cases included some handwritten and typed notes on separate paper detailing the game, and in subsequent years added more notes on the history of notable players.

This includes their war history and in more recent times, their passing. Some include relevant newspaper cuttings where a player is talked about either for their war efforts, Rugby career or their obituary.

These additions, written and collected over a period of years by a person who witnessed the games, adds considerable historical significance and which make fascinating reading. Please refer to the image for details on what additional documents/notes this programme is supplied with.

A fine item of Rugby memorabilia.
