Hi Elmarie, thanks for your reply, much appreciated.
He was Frans Willem Andries van Zyl, I don't know which camp in Bermuda either.

The information I have are “Frans Willem Andries van Zyl,sluit aan 1899 by Staatsartillerie,magsnommer 778,ingedeel by 3de Battery,ontvang ABO medalje”

“3de Battery was onder bevel van Kaptein JF Wolmarans en is Natal toe.Luitenant Mike du Toit wat by Talana gewond is was een van twee luitenante van die battery.”

See attached document that may help.

Picture......

Attached all the info that we had on him. Unfortunately there is no photo's but you can contact MC Heunis by [email protected] and also the National Archives for more info.
