*********************** Your mail has been scanned by Interscan ***********-*********** Dear Everyone, As small children my maternal great grandfather (Marais) gave us a first hand account of a boer perspective on the war together with an account of his experience of the concentration camps. I would be grateful if anyone could help me with information on the participation in the war of anyone with my paternal surname "Fitzhenry". Any information would be appreciated. Thank you Anthony Fitzhenry

Anthony, My great grandfather had a Ben Marais (Barend Gabriël) * 24 Dec? cousin from Wakkerstroom/Pongola who was in the Boer War with him, and who used to be my dad's hero on account of his big game hunting adventure stories. I'm scarce on information on him. It's a long shot, but I thought I'd mention it to you on the scant chance that there might be a connection. He was married to Johanna Martina Labuschagne * 14 Jul ?.
