Country:  | I'll have to put some pictures of the Boer War bits and pieces we have sometime - my great-grandfather went out there, and we still have his messtin, medals, ammo bag and a worn down brass belt buckle - all with his service number on them (it's only four digits which surprised me) | |

Brass belt buckle... I had one of them when I first joined. You have to polish those damn things near everyday to keep them looking nice!

Most of the Boers went where no one lived, they did not go to take other peoples land. If you read more about it you will see what I mean.

Country: | First time I've been on a site likje this so if I make any mistakes then please forgive me.
Njaco - I've been through the old mail and I'll try not to duplicate any but my questions are aimed at Henk.
First Henk, if you are not interested in more questions then let me know and I'll stop. If you are then my first question is why do you refer to General DeLa Rey as the first gorilla leader.
