Hi

I have a QSA named to Capt E A Pietersen of the Somerset East DMT.
I am trying to work out his first names, which could be Emanuel Andries or Euanrel Andries, or something similar.
The roll entry on top of page 70 WO100/285 clearly shows his surname as Pietersen, but the inquiry into his surrender at Somerset East in October 1901Somerset East DMT surrender gives his name as Pieterson.

I was hoping that someone can help figure out his name.

Thanks
Adrian

Adrian,

The QSA roll certainly looks to be Emanuel Andries Pietersen



I would favour the roll as the more accurate.

There are three entries for this name in NASA.

This Emmanuel fits the age profile and died in Somerset East.

His father was Emanuel so perhaps the 2 x Ms is a mistake?
