My friend Belinda in Perth has forwarded to me a copy of the 'Order of Service' for the annual Boer War commemoration and reconciliation service held recently. There is nothing like it in South Africa, but no doubt the Australian event was well attended by some of the numerous ex-pat South Africans living in Perth. ("Packing for Perth" has been a common practice in SA for many years.)

Belinda also attached a copy of the March 2016 Progress Report for the National Boer War Memorial Fund. Very impressive! Such a project would be impossible in South Africa.

Australia's commemoration of its military history is most commendable.
