S P E

Lieutenant Colonel

He was born near Ohrigstad in 1847, the grandson of the Voortrekker leader, Louis Trichardt. He gained a wide military experience gained between 1860 and 1898, the First Anglo Boer War and the Jameson Raid. In 1880 he became Field Cornet and Assistant Native Commissioner of the Olifants River ward, Middelburg. He was appointed Commandant of Middelburg in 1889. On the death of Lieutenant Colonel Henning Pretorius in 1897, he was appointed Commander of the Staatsartillerie and was responsible for the re-equipping of the force. He distributed the artillery across the forces and went into Natal with the invasion force. He moved between the battle with the relieving British force and the Boers surrounding Ladysmith. Later, he was at Diamond Hill. With the destruction of many guns at the start of the guerrilla war, he position as commander of the artillery was no longer needed. He retained his rank and acted as Commandant in the Middelburg Commando. He operated in the Eastern Transvaal until the end of hostilities. After the war he lived in German East Africa and then moved to Kenya. He died in 1907.
