A kneeling woman and her child are protected by armed troops next to the 'Wolf', a weapon also improvised during the siege. This note 	was the highest denomination and the design is based on a sketch by Colonel Baden-Powell, commander of the British garrison which was besieged at Mafeking for seven months, from 	October 1899 to May 1900. In time of war, people have often shown ingenuity in printing temporary paper money as a substitute 	for scarce official currency. Some of the most unusual examples are those produced at Mafeking during 	the Boer War. A makeshift series of notes was produced, printed on writing paper. Returning to England 	after successfully riding out the siege, Colonel Baden-Powell was later to establish the Boy Scouts.
