Hi There
Been a member for some time. It seem the site is concentrating more on the British forces. I am an Afrikaans speaking South African and all 4 of my great grandfathers fought in this war. Of particular to me is my great grandfather on my father side. He was convicted of treason and sentenced to jail, Is there any way to get the actual trail records.

Kind Regards
Lukas Van Der Watt
