Jan Geldenhuys was called up in October 1899 to serve in the Kroonstad Commando under Commandant Martinus Schoeman on the Western Front and deployed for the Siege of Kimberley. He fought at the Battles of Belmont, Graspan, Twee-Riviere (Modder River), Magersfontein and several other minor skirmishes.He was captured in April 1902 [a mere two months before the end of the war] and banished as a prisoner of war to Umballa, India, where his experiences till Thursday, 20th November 1902, were documented. He shared a tent with his father-in-law and later met up with his father and brother who were POW's at Bhimtal.His diaries, written in high-Dutch, are lodged with the Anglo-Boer War museum in Bloemfontein.The author's grandmother, Lizzie Preller, having published her "Oorlogsherinneringe", provided the motivation and inspiration to research and to add this addition to African history.Jan Geldenhuys and Lizzie Preller were buried on Rustpan, the family farm between Bothaville and Kroonstad in the Orange Free State.The author followed his grandfather and father's footsteps and joined the military - serving as a pilot for the duration of the Rhodesian War. Like his grandparents, he has published his war experiences.John Dovey of Just Done Productions Publishing designed the cover and published the book through Pinetown Printers in KZN Natal, in 2009. This edition is all my own work and includes many New Zealanders, mainly from the early Contingents, who fought and died during the Boer War - known as the South African War in New Zealand. This updated and revised edition will thus appeal to anyone interested in military history, especially conflicts in Southern Africa and New Zealand.

This book by is about my fathers' South African Air Force service during World War Two 1939 - 1945.He married my mother, Mathia Martha Lotter just before the war broke out - and they had the first three of four children born during the war years. The fourth child, born in Luanshya, Northern Rhodesia, did not survive.It must have been very soon after his marriage that he joined the military, like his father Johannes Albertus and eldest brother Hendry Jacobus Geldenhuys. When he was born, he was burdened with my grandmother's family names - Abram Carl Frederick Preller Geldenhuys.Abram Carl Frederick Preller Geldenhuys was born Bothaville, Orange Free State, South Africa, 2 August 1916 and died Pretoria, Transvaal, SA, 13 February 1972 - aged 551/2 years.His parents were Johannes Albertus Geldenhuys and Anna Elizabeth Preller - who were grain farmers on Rustpan, the family farm in the Bothaville district, on the road to Kroonstad.He was the youngest of five children, and according to family tradition, was named after his maternal grandfather. His eldest brother was named after his paternal grandfather - Hendrik Jacobus Geldenhuys. His older sisters were named Anna Elizabeth (Bess), Lilla and Mienie.They were initially farmed schooled and finished their Schooling at Bothaville - where my father matriculated.My grandfather had fought against the British in the Anglo-Boer War. My father was born during the First World War - best known in South Africa as the war of "Boer teen Boer en Broer teen Broer" - Farmer against farmer and brother against brother. It will be recalled that Germany was very sympathetic to the South Africans during the Anglo-Boer War 1899 - 1902; thus a sizeable proportion of the population was very reluctant to take up arms to attack German South West Africa as required by the Allies. However, young ACFP was totally oblivion to the ramifications of the First World War.

Boer Boy is the touching true story of a ten-year- old farm boy’s traumatic but fascinating experiences during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902. When Charles du Preez and his father were discovered hiding in the mountains of their eastern Free State farm, they were taken prisoner by the English and transported in open coal trucks to Durban. From there they began a harrowing journey aboard the SS Aurania to the prisoner-of-war camps of Umballa and Solon in India, where Charles was the youngest inmate. Back in South Africa, Charles’s mother and siblings, apprehended while fleeing the Khakis during Lord Kitchener’s destructive ‘scorched earth’ campaign, were interned in the infamous Winburg concentration camp. Based on an account Charles wrote later in life as well as other notable oral and documentary sources, including a diary kept by Charles’s mother during the war, Boer Boy tracks the Du Preez family’s wartime experiences. It culminates in Charles and his father’s repatriation to South Africa, where the family was reunited and returned home to the ruins of their farm to start again. Enthralling, poignant and richly informative, this is a valuable addition to the history of the Anglo-Boer War.
