He fought at the Battles of Belmont, Graspan, Twee-Reviere, Magersfontein and several other minor skirmishes. He was captured in April 1902 and banished as a prisoner of war to Umballa, India, where his experiences till Thursday, 20th November 1902 were documented. His diaries are lodged with the Anglo-Boer War museum in Bloemfontein. The author's grandmother, Lizzie Preller, provided the inspiration to research and to add this addition to African history.
