Attached are some private photos which I believe were owned by someone with the surname Pfaff - are these Boer war period? Captions of the photos reference a strike at Jo'burg, keeping the crowd in order, as well as the remains of the railway station

Hello James

The photographs could possibly be to do with 1922 Rand Revolt

James,

Thank you for posting these interesting pictures.

While I am not sure from which period they belong, they do not feel like Boer War images. The barricades in the town and the style of the helmets do suggest a later time to me.

Best wishes

Do you know the first name of the Pfaff you referred to. Might have been Major David Pfaff (ABO Utrecht Commando) - he also participated in the 1907 Natal Rebellion and later WWI. Some photos might have been from 1907 Rebellion and others from the 1922 Rand Strike. See below his medal group.
