II'm English, Was in South Africa for about a year and a half. I was in Vryheid and was make an honorary Boer, Learnt about the Boer Wars and the history of the town. Went to Ladysmith, Newcastle, Isandlwana, Rorkes Drift.

In Canada (about 2000), History Television had an excellent series on Canada's involvement. I have looked for it, but cannot find it. Interesting fact..My Grandmother was born in 1893 (died 1993), and she recalled a school holiday in England because of the Relief of Makefking in May 1900...
