Single original sheet mounted on old scrap page with residue and clippings to reverse.

One word telegram stating "Degree'. Presumably confirmation from his son as to achieving the same, dated 23.6.1903

I think from his son Hugh Massie Blomfield, who would have been 22 at the time and who I know attended Oriel College Oxford.

Rear Admiral Sir Richard Massie Blomfield was present on HMS Invincible at the Port of Alexandria during the bombardment of 1882.

He stayed there for thirty years, and was heavily involved in the construction of the harbour as Comptroller of the Port, and retired as Director-General of Ports and Lighthouses in the Egyptian Government's service in 1908, when the Khedive conferred on him the first class order of the Medjidie.

Please see photographs provided which serve as the best possible description.

I post all paper items protected and in proper card backed envelopes.

I never add additional folds, if the item is shown with a parcel postage price that is because it is oversized and will not fit in a small or large letter envelope.


I'm always happy to combine postage when I can.

I only ever use GSP for international shipping, if you are buying more than one item please wait until they provide you with a final invoice as they cannot combine shipping retropectively.

Thanks for looking.
