The Jameson Raid : Captors, Captives and Others - by: Henk Loots

Hi everybody
The Raid has fascinated me for a very long time, especially after the late 1970's when I obtained the original of a raid-related telegram from the ZAR Commandant General P Joubert dated 31 Dec 1895. This must have been sent shortly after Joubert was informed of Dr J's border-crossing




VAN AAN
Commandant- Commandant en
Generaal Landdrost
Zeerust
Waar zijn de troepen nu; Wat is hun beweging; Zij moeten gestopt worden waar ze nu zijn maar nach achterwaarts. Indien zij gewillig de wapenen afleggen, die door u in bezit kunnen genomen worden, kunnen zij terug keeren tot …. …. over de grenzen.
31/12/’95 P J Joubert

FROM TO Commandant and Magistrate
Commandant- Zeerust
General

Where are the troops now; What is their movement; They must be stopped where they are now but ?turned around? If they are willing to lay down arms, that you can take charge of, they can return ….. …. over the border.

I will post images of a number of roll players in the Raid and would welcome Images from fellow-forumites
