This copied page came with some medals and is a tabulated list of surrenders and the outcomes of the Courts of Inquiry. Does anyone know the source document as I have several more I would like to look up!

Ron Hackett South African War Books has on page 195

South African Surrenders, Being Some Accounts Of The recorded Surrenders Of British Troops Which Took Place During The South African War, 1899-1902, And Of The Action Subsequently Taken In Connection Therewith.
WO. Apr. 1905
vii + 261 pp.
WH Loc : SA7A

Does anyone have a copy???

Hello Paul

The document is in Kew - WO108/372.

It is very interesting.

Hi Paul
That group came from my collection.
I obtained a copy of the "Surrenders" document from Kew some years ago:an expensive exercise (262 A-3 pages plus Air-mail postage)! It took me quite a while to work through it and "marry" relevant details with the SAFF Casualty Rolls on my computer but it was worth the effort .
Maybe it is now available for download

Hi Henk,
I guessed they were once yours from the labels. A very nice group which I am very pleased to look after..
The document is available at Kew and has not been digitised so still an expensive photocopying exercise even without the postage. I might go and see if I can photograph the pages although I try to avoid Kew wherever possible. Have you considered scanning your photocopies as a PDF?
Regards
Paul

Does anyone know if this report is available online? Thank you in advance,
John
