My great uncle, Johannes Bloemsma was killed during the Boer War. He was a Hollander who was either in the Hollander Corp or the Johannesburg Commando.
I am trying to find out where he was killed and when.
Could anybody please assist.

This picture of a memorial wall in Bloemfontein shows him as being killed in action on the 09/02/1901.
