Goeie Middag Henk
I'd love to read Jan Kemp's account of the days 17-26 Jan 1900; I am preparing an account of the battle of Tabanyama.
It is difficult to find eyewitness Boer memoirs; Kemp wrote vividly of Spioenkop, and I am hopeful he will describe the fighting at Tabanyama, since the Krugersdorp Commando held the trenches at the top of Tabanyama.
Would you be able to photograph the relevant pages of those dates and email them to me?
I'd be happy to help you in exchange in some way, if I possibly can.
My email is [email protected]
Groete
Rob
