Thank you for posting this batch of POW records. I was particularly interested in the Von Maltitz record, because my wife was at university with a member of this eastern OFS family, several of whom served in the Boer army. The ABO medal roll records the names of three members of the family, not including Emil Edmund. The name is incorrectly given as "Von Malitz". This spelling is repeated on the Boer nominal, roll on this site.
