As Winston Churchill's life ebbed away in England in 1965 so too did the life of his nemesis, Jaap Botha, credited with being one of the party of the Boer Commando who captured him at Chievely near Colenso.

The newspaper article from the Natal Witness says it all.

Rory

Great find Rory. He was probably the greatest Briton ever, he just kept on going with a larger than life type of life.

Has anyone seen an ABO where form B Chively is listed as a battle?
