    'It was the best oftimes, it was the worst oftimes '1 Natal and the Anglo-Boer War of1899-19022 At the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War the British colony of Natal stood to gain and to lose by virtue of its geographical position, and duly did both as the ensuing conflict unfolded. The territory was obviously vulnerable to Boer invasion, yet the support of its inhabitants for the British war effort was not as axiomatic as might be supposed. The reaction of the colony's African majority to the prospect of war was not recorded, though many were to be affected and some actively involved in what was supposed to be a whites-only conflict. Most white Natalians were slow to rally to the flag as they wrestled with ambivalent feelings towards the Boer republics and uncertainty concerning the sincerity of aggressive imperial diplomacy in southern Africa. Significantly, perhaps, when war was declared less than 20% of the colony's white adult male popUlation of military age (20 to 40 years old) enlisted for service, excluding the existing rifle associations which were on standby.3 Pre-war sentiment Whi le the imperial defeats of 1881, CLl lminating at Majuba, still rankled in loyalist hearts, by the 1890s Natal inescapably depended more than ever before upon the overberg trade as a source of both public and private income. President Kruger was wamily received when he visited the colony in April 1891 to celebrate the completion ofthe main Natal railway line to Charlestown on the Transvaal border.4 By then more than 62% of Natal's imports, upon which customs duties and railway rates were levied, were bound for the interior republics.

Updated December 2009 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part D: 1886 - 1909 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

Brief Description of item(s) A secretaire with marquetry depicting the people, topography, flora and fauna of New Zealand, incorporating the then coat of arms of Major-General Robert Baden-Powell (1857-1941, created 1st Baron Baden-Powell in 1929), and bearing a silver plaque which reads: ‘Presented to Major-General R. S. S. Baden-Powell by admirers in the province of Auckland, New Zealand, in recognition of distinguished services rendered to the Empire during the siege of Mafeking, from 13 Oct. 1899 to 17 May 1900’. The marquetry is made of New Zealand woods, including burr totara. The secretaire measures 167 cm high, 130 cm wide and 66 cm deep. It was made by William Seuffert (1858-1943) between 1900 and 1902 in Auckland, New Zealand, with the carvings attributed to Anton Teutenberg. It is in very good condition. The carving on the centre of the top is a modern reproduction based on photographs of the original. The marquetry on the front has faded. 2. Context When British forces relieved Mafeking (now Mafikeng) on 17 May 1900 the news was greeted with an extraordinary outpouring of celebrations throughout Britain and her colonies. In Auckland, a shilling subscription was launched to raise money for a gift in honour of Major-General Baden-Powell, who had been in charge of the besieged garrison.

    The Mafeking Mail Special Siege Slips

    THE MAFEKING MAIL SPECIAL SIEGE SLIPS Mafeking lies 1392 kilometres north of Cape Town and 298 kilometres west of Johannesburg. Mafikeng "The Place of Stones" was first settled in the early 1850's. From the early 1860's it became a centre of squabbling and outright fighting between the Transvaal Republic, the Baralong, The Goshen Republic, the British South Africa Company and The British Empire. By the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War it was a robust "dorp" with some 1500 European citizens, a group of Indian and oriental background and 5000 Baralong. It was a major rail junction with a station and railway workshops; a significant commercial centre, and boasted a number of substantial buildings including two schools, two churches, a Standard Bank, a Masonic Lodge, a newspaper building, a public library, the Victoria Hospital and St. Josephs Convent (Irish Sisters of Mercy). The Siege of Mafeking was conducted between 14 October 1899 and 17 May 1900, that is 217 days, and began 3 days after the declaration of war by the Transvaal Republic. It involved British and Colonial Forces under the command of Brevet-Colonel Robert Stephenson Smythe Baden-Powell, the besieged, and Boer Forces ab initio under the command General Piet Arnoldus Cronje‚ and later Kommandant Sarel Eloff, the besiegers. Brevet-Colonel Baden-Powell (later Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell O.M., K.C.M.G., K.C.B., K.C.V.O.) was to end the war fêted in the United Kingdom as a national hero and go on to find greater fame as the Founder of the international movement of the Boys' Scouts.
