TOPIC:

1900 - Buller and Christiaan Botha meet at Laing's Nek. Kosi Bay expedition abandoned.
1901 - Kritzinger captures Jamestown.
1902 - Lord Kitchener addresses Boer loaders at Vereeniging.
1909 - Transvaal and O.R.C. adopt amended South African Constitution.

From the Aberdeen Journal, 2 June 1900, news of a pro-Boer meeting in that city. I hadn't thought there had been much support in the UK for the Boers but perhaps this was not correct?

An article from the The Weekly Standard and Express on the link between the celebrations after Waterloo and the recent (on 2nd June) Relief of Mafeking.

The same publication, The Weekly Standard and Express, carried a report of an exhibition of Boer War material at the RUSI that had been brought back by HMS Powerful. It must have been one of the first such exhibitions.

This Burnley paper contained lots of interesting items on the 2nd of June 1900:

David,
I think it is good in these hard times to take a few moments to look back at the key dates in our history, I can confirm that I always do and will be having another drink or two on the 18th of June, moreover, I always raise my glass on the 15th of September and the 21st of October too!
Britain really was truly great not so many years ago.
Kind regards Frank
