Hello Brett, Justin and Elmarie
Firstly tkx for putting this photograph of Reg Cleaver on the Forum.
The Cleaver family farmed in the Bethlehem district in the Free State.
The book you are referring to is "The War Letters of an English Burgher" 2 nd edition 2000, published by Protea Book House .

Reg Cleaver was in fact a son of the Free State, matriculated at St Andrew's College in Bloemfontein, Alma mater and
read law at Cambridge U. in England.
Jan Smuts employed him in the Justice office in ZAR and during the War Reg acted as the legal adviser to Ladybrand Commando under Gen Naas Ferreira.
His memoirs are wonderfully interesting; he and many other Free State Patriots could have made a huge contribution to South African reconstruction after the Boer war had they survived.,
Hoping this info is useful?

Were his medals ever issued?

regards
Evyn
