Where do I find info contained in this - Source: WO100/285

Excuse my ignorance but what does the WO stand for?

Answering the second part of my question myself - obviously stands for War Office

It is a medal roll reference.

WO = War Office

Presumably you found a name with this reference?

Yes - VARKEVISSER

Hi Diggerman
Have you perhaps found any further info on this skirmish?

Hi Richard

Nothing new at the moment - been too hot to be in the open veld long enough to find anything.

Will try further at the start of winter. Still cannot confirm with 100% certainty that this skirmish actually happened or is an urban legend.
