M.W. Theunissen was my great-great-grandfather & he served in the AB War, taking with him his eldest sons as "penkoppe", including P.J.V.de Kock Theunissen (very long name!) who would later become my great-grandfather. I think they might have ended up as "hensoppers", as they were originally from Caledon in the then Cape Colony (all his children were born there) & according to my dad laid down their weapons after Pretoria & Bloemfontein fell to the British. M.W. Theunissen was a teacher by profession & lived somewhere in the Freestate at the time the AB War broke out.

Thank you for this information, Christine.

It looks like MWT did not apply for his medal after the war?
