From the next City Coins auction, November 2020

ABO (Artilleris H.J. van Vuuren)

The Forsyth Roll notes Henning van Vuuren’s unit as “Staatsartillerie”. His Vorm “B”, however, states that he served in the Orange Free State Artillery under Maj Albrecht.

After serving at the battles of Magersfontein, Abrahamskraal (Driefontein) and Paardeberg, he was in action on 7 June at Rooiwal/Roodewal Siding in the crew of one of the 75mm Krupp guns.
