Good day,

Does anyone know where we can get hold of the following Map's:
- Vaal Krantz, positions of troops on 5 Feb 1900
- Spion Kop, situation at about 2 pm. Battle of Spion Kop
- Spion Kop, position of troops at sunset of 23 Jan 1900

Thanks

Those maps are available in reprinted form in Vol.2 of the Maps Section of the History of the War in South Africa by Major General Maurice (and a staff of officers). The whole series are available as reprints from the Naval and Military Press; with whom I have no commercial arrangement - other than buying the odd book!
The reproduced maps are not as large as those shown in your attachments. If the N@MP reprints do not suit your purpose, you might have to look for an original set of Maurice.

Dear Neil
If you are in Joburg, I can tell you where youcan look at the original maps and photograph them.
