About Helena Cornelia Pretorius, b1c1d8

She was a strong willed woman and fluent in English. She was taught by Charlotte Keet.

She confronted an English officer who want to blow up her house.

"Your Queen Victoria is also a woman like me and I wonder what she would have said if she could be here today to see what her soldiers were doing to innocent women and children"

Apparently the officer Corney just rode off and did nothing to the house.

Eventually she, her third Husband and all her daughters and her youngest son were taken to the Kimberley concentration camp.
