T & D Shearing notes in the “Rebel Record” that Willem C.V. Nel, a Cape Rebel from Kakamas/Kenhardt, joined Conroy’s Commando during March 1900 and re-joined during February 1901. Nel, on his Vorm “B”, only states service from April 1901 to the end of the war. He suffered multiple wounds in the “Narugas” action: bullet wounds in left shoulder, left ear and right arm.
