De la ReyJacobus Hercules (Koos)GeneralHe was born near Winburg in 1847, the son of a Voortrekker. He lived near Lichtenburg. He first worked as a transport rider in the diamond fields and saw military service in the third Basuto war 1865 and against Sekhukhune in 1876. He entered politics in 1893 and represented Lichtenburg in the Volksraad. Although opposed to the Boer War, he joined the commandos and, being promoted to General, successfully operated in the west, taking part in the battles of Graspan and Modder River. At the battle of Modder River he was wpunded and his son was killed. While he was not fit enough to fight at Magersfontein. It was Del la Rey who suggested the line of entrenchment should be at the base of the include and not at the top as the British expected. He was known as the 'The Lion of the West'. He attacked the British camp at Nooitgedacht and was able to capture Lord Methuen at Tweebosch in March 1902. He participated in the peace negotiations. He became a Senator in the Union Parliament. He commanded government troops during the 1914 Johannesburg strike. He met an unfortunate death. While driving through Fordsburg with General Beyers, the car he was travelling in failed to stop at a road block in Johannesburg that was set up to catch the Foster gang. The car was fired on. He was killed by the shot but General Beyers was totally uninjured in the incident. Boer Forces
