Hi

Does anyone know much about the attack/defence of Piquetberg?

From what I can find out it was a blockhouse at the town of Piquetberg (near Saldhana Bay) that was attacked for 24 hours.

I have the QSA to Tpr FW Schonborn who was in the DMP. The roll is for the Judge dvocate General's Ministerial Division which seems common with these. A note on the roll states that he was in teh defence of Piquetberg. I am trying to see if there is any detail, I can't even find a date of the attack.

Cheers
Ryan

Looks like one attack was in September 1901 when Veldkornet Hildebrand was killed, during Maritz and Theron’s push into the Cape.
