Delarey - Boer War

Here you go FishEagle. Just for you. We first posted it in August 2008.

This is for the pride of the Afrikaner Nation. General De la Rey was a Boer General in South Africa who led his brave Boers in battle against the invading British Empire. The odds were staggering, 80 000 Boers to 350 000 British soldiers. The Boers held out to the bitter end.

The British held thousands of Boer women and children in the first ever concentration camps. The British forced the Boers to surrender as they starved their women and children - only for the Boers to return to their torched farms without many of their murdered family members.

This is a salute to the men who fought for freedom and a reminder that giving up is not an option as it discredits the memory of those that died in the wars for freedom.
