Can anyone help with information on where and when the first three actions took place?

Possible candidates for 1 & 2






Number 3 is a little trickier.

Hi Rory
The closest I could find to number 3.

Is the third Barberslaagte?

I have searched my site for references to Barberslaagte and Barkerslaagte without success.

This would seem to be spot on Dave - Van Niekerk served with Piet Erasmus!

Hello Rory

I couldn't find any skirmishes regarding Barbersglatte. It does seem to be a body of water / stream . The Vetriver is 3km North West and the nearest town is Hoopstad. I checked for actions at Kromviel and Groenvier farms which are in the vicinity, but no luck.  I think Hoopstad had a Kommando force but I don't think your man is mentioned on that roll.
