TOPIC:

Dalmanutha and Belfast?

Under the section where he was wounded he is not specific - says he fought from 1899 to 1900. He answered the question "where wounded" under the section "type or nature of wound".

My take :

Vorm C
Date and place or district of service : "Oct 1899 to 1900 on the battlefield, wounded, prisoner of war". "On the battlefield" may have been his answer to "place or district of service".

Nature of wound : "Prisoner of war [illegible] wounded at Belmenutha Belfast".

Date and place of wounding : "[indecipherable] the battle of 1899 to 1900."

Vorm B
I read it as : "Krygsgevane gewonden bij Dalmanutha en weg gestuur naar Ceylon." In English : "Prisoner of war wounded at Dalmanutha and sent away to Ceylon."

Thanks Rory & Arthur; much appreciated.

I need some help with identifying the Lieutenant who signed this copy of a receipt for 1 wrecked cart, 11 oxen and a 100 Lbs. sack of meal that had been appropriated by Bullock’s Brigade in May 1901 from a Mr. Robertson. The man signing off at the bottom is Henry Christian Koch, a well-known law man from Natal who busied himself a.o. with administering Oaths of Allegiance to Boers who had surrendered.

The name looks like 'W.J. Terloar' or 'W.J. Treloar'.

I would agree with Arthur but I cannot find anyone on the rolls with this name nor any officer in the 1905 Army List (presuming he was still serving then).
