TOPIC:

One of my recent Spink purchases was the QSA to the above. Harris was taken P.O.W. at Kuruman on 5 November 1901 and later released. This is where I need help - I have trawled the newspapers but can find nary a mention of the action or circumstances in which he was taken.

Can any obliging reader please assist?

Regards

Rory
