Anglo Boere Ooorlog/Boer War (1899-1902) Killed in Action in South Africa

  • In the last few years of the 19th Century, British Imperialism and Afrikaner Nationalism came into conflict with each other.
  • This resulted in the Anglo Boer War of 1899-1902.
  • The carriers of the British Imperialism were absolute convinced that the leaders of the Afrikaner Nationalism was a threat to them.
  • In turn the leaders of the Afrikaner Nationalism on their side again were convinced that the leaders of the British Imperialism wanted to misuse their powers to destroy them.
  • There was as far as both parties were concerned no place for both of them in South Africa.

From: Die Anglo Boereoorlog 1899-1902 by Frans-Johan Pretorius . Pretoria 1998

  • Include a photograph/painting of your ancestor if one exists.
  • Your ancestor's profiles should be marked as "public" and not "private".
  • All included profiles should include full identifying information including birth and death dates as well as birth and death locations. It would also be very helpful if the immediate family of your pioneer ancestor, (their parents, siblings and children) profiles were public profiles also.
  • Do not make public any profiles of living people. NOTE: All soldiers included on this project will have their profiles editable by other collaborators of this project. The object of reproducing the list here is to see if these people can be located on Geni and perhaps develop trees from them.
