ABO (Burg. P. G. van Aswegen). City Coins November 2007

Petrus van Aswegen served in the Mooi River Ward of the Potchefstroom Commando. He was in action at all of the initial battles on the Western Front: Mafeking, Twee Riviere (Modder River), Magersfontein and Koedoesrand. In addition he was at Paardeberg but managed to escape before Gen Cronje surrendered. He was taken PoW in the Bushveld north of Pretoria on 23 Oct 1900 and sent to Ceylon on board the S.S. Catalonia.
