• Notes

  Born on the bank of the Modderrivier during the battle of Modder River in the Anglo-Boer war. His father raised a white flag but the British ignored it. He and the other boys then carried his mother to the river bank at a spot near the town of Modderrivier where there was cover. He was born there during the night.
