Hi everyone
I'm part of a team working with the Old Fort in Johannesburg on an upcoming exhibition of its history. Naturally, a major part of the Old Fort is the story of its prisoners which have included members of the Reform Committee. One of the stories we'd like to tell as part of this exhibition is JP Fitzpatrick - and his connection to the reform committee and the Jameson raid.
I see a few members have mentioned having medals of his or other artefacts and we would love to get in touch about the possibility of showcasing such artefacts at the Old Fort. We're also interested in newspaper clippings from the time - or any other interesting insights and stories about him that we might not have come across. Please feel free to share as much information as you have!
