Thank you for accepting me to the forum.
I am writing a piece on my great uncle, Albert Halke. He was one of the first group from 'K' company of 1st Battalion Volunteer Battalion, the Buffs to sign up to fight in the Boer War, as part of the 1st Active Service Volunteer Company under the command of Captain G Gosling. He sailed from Southampton in the Gascon on 17 Feb 1900 arriving in Cape Town on 11 Mar 1900. He died in Bloemfontein on 12 July of enteric fever. I have a lot of information on everything leading up to 11 Mar. I also know where he is buried and have photographs of the memorials he is on.
But I know little of what happened to him between his arrival in Cape Town and his death only:
His company arrived in Bloomfontein on 12 Apr and joined the 2nd battalion of the Buffs
On 13 June his company was camped at Kroonstad with the 2nd battalion, presumably on garrison duty.
If anyone can help me fill in this gap between 11 Mar and 12 July I would be very grateful.
Also for any photographs of his unit at any time.
