Hi,

In the process of researching my family I have come across the diary of my great grandfather Gunner JW Davies in which he gives a first hand account of the march by Lord Roberts from Modder to Bloemenfontien 12.2.00 to 13.3.00. I thought you may be interested. I have attached the first couple of pages. It is in pencil and so has suffered a bit with time but is largely readable.
I can post the remaining pages if you would find it of interest

Hi Robea,

And a warm welcome to the forum.
Thank you for posting these accounts, I am sure forum members will find them very interesting.
Please post the remaining pages when you can.
I have attached your images to the bottom of your post for easy viewing,hope you don't mind.

Cheers
Paul

I second Paul's welcome and his request that you post the rest of the diary. You are very fortunate to have inherited such a valuable record.

Regards
Brett

Evening, I have had a go at improving the quality of the scan and I think I have done this. Some of the writing is very feint, suggestions as to how to improve this are welcome!

I hope you enjoy reading it. I will post some more later or possibly tomorrow (I am lambing at the moment and a bit pushed for time)

Hi Bob,

The quality is fine and thanks for posting.
Good luck with the lambing

Cheers
Paul

Latest batch. Sorry about the serial nature of this but size seems to matter on my router.
