Do note that these cards say first series, but there was no second ever issued. Whether there might have been if Taddy had not closed the doors has been the subject of much speculation, but it seems unlikely as there were ten years in between the issue of this set and the closure of the company.

Other Taddy sets also say “First Series”, these being “Sports and Pastimes” (T/32 - 1912), and “Terriorial Regiments” (T/33 - 1908).

The same set was also issued in 1913 by Tucketts, who were based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (T64-1 : T815-050 : USA/C113).
