My name is Val van der Walt.
I’m particularly interested in anything that happened in and around Winburg, Freestate, as I grew up in that area.
Imperial or Boer, any info is much appreciated.

Val
Welcome to the forum. Judging by the index volume to the Times History, there was quite some activity around that area. General Ian Hamilton advanced to that area 5/00 with the Winburg Column, the town was surrendered and Generals Clements and Colville operated in the area. The Winburg town and district earlier furnished men for a Commando.
There will be a fair bit of grist for the mill if you check the indices of the Times History, the Official History and others. These books may be accessed via the "books" section of this site.
Good luck with your investigations. Perhaps other members might be able to provide more immediate information to help you.
Regards
IL.

You can download Dr Boje's thesis

That will be a good start to your quest!

Ek's nog nie so bekend met die 'download' besigheid nie. Waar sal ek Boje se tesis kan aftrek?
