Local historian Helena Marincowitz has traced Prince Albert's Anglo-Boer War stories . Some came from chats with residents in our retirement home - personal reminiscences with their own pathos, and humour. Others were discovered after far-ranging research. They have been gathered into a book - available in English and Afrikaans, which is on sale at the Fransie Pienaar Museum tel: 023 5411 172 and the Tourism Association Office tel: 023 5411 366. Helena's book is well illustrated with photographs from the period and includes a map which indicates two Anglo-Boer War routes , one to the north and the other to the south of Prince Albert.

The Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) In 1899, Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee. The economic prosperity and industrial supremacy would seem to be enough for the British. But Alfred Milner the High Commissioner of Cape Colony in South Africa, wanted to further enhance British dominance in Africa. He wanted gold mines in the Dutch Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. He also wanted to create a Cape-to-Cairo confederation of British colonies to dominate the African continent with himself as the proposed ruler Milner and his generals were characteristically optimistic but they soon learned they were in for a protracted and bloody conflict. Military disasters abounded and 22,000 men were killed in the initial stages. The Anglo-Boer War was a period of sustained violence. For nearly three years the British exercised a scorched-earth policy that left the country in ruins. The Boer republics knew they stood in Britain's way and citing the strategy that 'the key to a good defense is a good offense' struck first. In 1899 a Boer population of less than 100,000 farmers attacked British cities in South Africa and proceeded to hold at bay a British army of 450,000 for a further two years. The Empire was internationally humiliated. One historian describes the war as 'Britain's Vietnam'.

INDIA AND THE ANGLO-BOER WAR - by E. S. Reddy (29 July 1999) Many books have been written about the soldiers and volunteers from various countries who took part in the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. But there has been none on the role of India and Indians in South Africa though India contributed more soldiers and ambulance workers than any of the other British colonies and was a major source of supplies for the British army, while the largest number of Boer prisoners of war were held in camps in India. The graves of Indian "auxiliaries" who died in South Africa are not known, and the only memorial to them was erected by the Indian community. What is best known of the Indian contribution was militarily the least significant, namely, the work of the Natal Indian Ambulance Corps, a unit of a little over a thousand volunteers who served for less than two months, because it was led by M. K. Gandhi who became prominent as the leader of the struggle of the Indians in South Africa against discrimination and later of India for independence.

History Beginnings Colonisation The Anglo-Boer War The Union of South Africa The Apartheid State ... State Militarily, the conflict between Boer and British forces can be divided into two phases: a period of Boer commando successes, quickly reversed after the arrival of the main British force in January 1900, which captured the republican capitals between March and June. Then came a guerilla phase when the Boer forces regrouped after the fall of Pretoria and carried on the conflict for two years before reluctantly accepting peace accepting peace terms from the British in May 1902 in the Treaty of Vereening. This conflict involved the entier population of South Africa in one way or another. Boer women and children, who were evicted from farms or villages put to the torch by the British, were either sent to concentration camps where many of them died from disease, or went to endure the exposure of commando life in the veld. African ex-miners and farm labourers were also concentrated in camps, and drawn into labour tasks by the British Army. Boers raided the African reserves for food while livestock previously taken by Boer commandos. Martial law was proclaimed step by step across the whole region, and the movements of people were drastically restricted. For African scouts on the British side, or Boers caught in captured British uniforms, punishments were swift and final, while of the 10 000 Cape Afrikaner rebels convicted of treason, a small proportion of those sentenced to death by military courts were indeed shot.

Weskus Stories The Hildebrand Monument: Anglo - Boer War 1899 - 1902 By 1901 the conventional war between Britain and the Boer Republics, Transvaal and Orange Free State, had ended with the occupation of Pretoria by the British. The Boers switched to guerrilla tactics, living off the land and harassing British forces wherever they found them. Part of this strategy was to infiltrate Commandos into the Cape Colony to attack the British. This approach explains the presence of a Boer Commando 1,500km from home, at Darling in November 1901. This was the furthest that Boer forces penetrated South, and the closest military action to Cape Town of the War. During September 1901, Commandos under the leadership of Manie Maritz and Jan Theron, arrived in the Van Rhynsdorp district and joined forces. The decision was taken to attack British forces near Cape Town. After a successful attack on a British military supply column between Lamberts Bay and Clanwilliam, Hildebrand was appointed Veldkornet and was ordered, to take 150 men and conduct a raid south, towards Hopefield and Darling. The rest of the Commando would meet him there after raiding Piketberg. After The successful occupation of Hopefield, the Commando advanced to Darling on 10th November 1901. A scouting party entered the town on the 11th. They discovered that the Town Guard had withdrawn. The Commando destroyed the telegraph and released the gaol’s only prisoner, a Mr. Loubser. On Monday 12th VeldKornet Hildebrand, with part of the Commando, entered the town and requisitioned supplies, the remainder commandeered horses in the vicinity.

90. Anglo-Boer War South African War angloboer war at East London, South Africa http://www.ecape.school.za/sael/eboer003.htm

The Labyrinth of East London Lore Anti-German Sentiment The outbreak of the war led to a crisis of loyalty at East London. There were many Germans living there who found it hard to support the Imperial cause, and this invoked the ire of the imperialist supporters. Despite the initial apathetic response at East London to the idea of a Town Guard, the South African War did foster a jingoistic attitude among many of the English residents at East London and some even regarded a neutral attitude as akin to downright disloyalty. That was particularly unfortunate because of the strong German element both at the port and in the Border region generally, and emotions were further roused by the German Government's call to its citizens for strict neutrality. Although many of the Germans had already been resident in the Colony for over 30 years and had been assimilated into the general community, some believed themselves to be citizens of both the Cape and Germany but not of Britain. The South African War revealed the complexity of that issue and cast seeds of discord which bore the ingredients of a bitter dispute, except that the bulk of the East London population remained relatively indifferent to the war effort. The episode which threatened to throw the cat among the pigeons was the relief of Kimberley in February 1900. East London celebrated the event by flying flags from most of the stores in the town. A noticeable exception was the building belonging to Hermann Malcomess, a German who had emigrated to East London in the mid-1860s. He had built a business empire at the port and the Malcomesses reputedly became one of the wealthiest families in the town.

THE TREATY OF NANKING Nanking, August 29, 1842 Peace Treaty between the Queen of Great Britain and the Emperor of China. This treaty between Britain and China ended the first opium war, fought between 1839 and 1842. The occasion for the war was the destruction in May 1839 by the Chinese emperor's 'drug tsar', Lin Zexu, of thousands of casks of Indian opium, without compensation, that were destined to be sold by the private British traders operating in Canton harbor to Chinese dealers in defiance of a ban placed on the illegal substance by the Chinese government. Despite the ban, the British government supported the traders on the specious grounds that suppression of the drug was China's responsibility only and that it should not proceed by an assault on the property (i.e., opium) of British subjects. The fighting, via sporadic land and naval battles, ended in complete victory for Britain which was thus in a position to impose the following onerous terms on China in relation to the opening of additional ports of trade and the elimination of barriers to the convenient conduct of a centuries old lawful trade. Note that no mention is made of opium which continued to be an illegal substance. Moreover, the drug trade could now continue without interruption as far as the traders were concerned for the treaty also ceded to Britain the offshore island of Hong Kong where the opium traders could thenceforth conduct their illegal operations. HER MAJESTY the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Majesty the Emperor of China, being desirous of putting an end to the misunderstandings and consequent hostilities which have arisen between the two countries, have resolved to conclude a Treaty for that purpose . . . . . . .

Story of the Clan The MacFarlane homeland is located in the Highlands at the heads of Loch Long and Loch Lomond. For over five centuries this area, the feudal barony of Arrochar, was held by the chiefs of Clan MacFarlane and before them by their ancestors the barons of Arrochar. The family is Celtic in the male line and native to their beautiful Highland homeland of tall peaks and deep lochs just above the waist of Scotland. A Saxon male line ancestry was first proposed for this family in Crawfurd’s Peerage nearly three hundred years ago, but that is incorrect. The best source is the Complete Peerage which follows the Scots Peerage which, in turn, follows Skene’s Celtic Scotland in giving the true Celtic descent of this family. All of these sources base their statements on the old Celtic genealogy of Duncan, eighth Earl of Lennox, who was executed in 1425, and the coming of age poem composed for Alwyn, last Mormaer and first Earl of Lennox in the
