It was organised by Professor Alfred W Hughes, assisted by a committee elected from the men and women of Wales. Funds amounting to £12 000 were acquired by subscription from the citizens of Wales and Welshmen residing outside the country. According to a Report by the Central British Red Cross Committee on the Voluntary Organisations in the Aid of the Sick and Wounded during the South African War, the personnel originally comprised three senior surgeons, two assistant surgeons, eight medical students and dressers, ten nursing sisters, two maids, 48 orderlies, cooks, and stretcher bearers. The medal roll lists 44 staff (W A Morgan, 1975, p 12). With them was the matron, Marion Lloyd. One of the senior surgeons was Professor Thomas Jones, who was a professor of surgery at Owen's College, Manchester, England (Report by the CBRCC, 1902; British Medical Journal, p 250). The personnel and equipment under the command of Major T W Cockerill embarked from Southampton on the Canada, 14 April 1900. The passage and freight was provided by the government. The stores, subsequently sent out, were shipped at the expense of the organisers.

[email protected]@man. a c. uk A central claim in the war commemoration literature is that World War I brought about a fundamental change in state commemorative practices. This argument is problematised using a case study concerned with the relationship between local mourning, state commemoration and remem­ brancefollowingbrance following the South African War of 1899-1902, in which meanings about nationalism, belonging and citizenship have been inscribed within a 'legendary topography' which has concretised remembrance in commemo­ rative memorials and monuments. Two silences in commemoration from this War - a partial one concerning children and a more total one con­ cerning all black people - are teased out in relation to the Vrouemonument built in 1913, the Gedenktuine or Gardens of Remembrance constructed during the 1960s and 70s, and some post-1994 initiatives, and also related to ideas about citizenship and belonging.

These people were primarily of Khoesan descent, but their large stone-built stock pens attest to the presence of substantial herds of livestock, very likely for trade. This region was too dry for agriculture, although we know that there were links with Tswana-speaking agricultural communities to the north, because of the presence of characteristic styles of copper artefacts in Riet River graves.
