*Descendants of Boer War Veterans - Requested to Register* The National Boer War Association Inc. has a website - www.bwm.org.au which enables anyone to find out more about the Boer War. Anyone interested to do so should search the databases therein to help trace their Military ancestors particularly those in the Boer War - www.bwm.org.au/site/Ancestor_Search.asp . The South Australian Committee of the National Boer War Association Inc. is very keen to have as many descendants of Boer War veterans registered as soon as possible. All appropriate family members, including young descendants should register. We hope this will capture the interest of many people to search their military ancestry. Descendants of Boer War Veterans information - www.bwm.org.au/site/Descendant_Database.asp can be accessed and we encourage descendants to also be linked to their Boer War Veteran/s. Boer War Day on Sunday 26 May 13 with a service at the South African War Memorial from 11.00AM will be followed by refreshments in the Torrens Parade Ground Drill Hall. Free parking will be available on the Torrens Parade Ground. We expect the event this year to be quite special. Accordingly, in addition to descendants, there will be an enlarged invitation list to include representatives of South Australian military units and Corps, with the honour “South Africa 1899-1902” and their associations to be present. Plus other special guests will also be invited to attend. In addition to the service at the South African War Memorial in front of Government House each year to commemorate the service of Boer War veterans, particularly South Australian veterans, a descendants’ reunion will be held each year. The inaugural descendants’ reunion held in 2012 was a resounding success and it was resolved to continue to have a descendants’ reunion again each year well into the future. Our South Australian Descendant Registrar is Glen Searles, 08 7225 1288, or 0407 186 935, should anyone need further assistance or advice about registering. To be sure of receiving an invitation to the 26 May 13 event, it is advisable to email your contact information to Glen - gis3@optusnet.com.au .
