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.

  • Geological Survey of Canada, 601 Booth Street
    KIMBERLITE DIAMOND DEPOSITS B.A. KJARSGAARD Geological Survey of Canada, 601 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0E8 Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Abstract Diamonds have formed over a significant period of the Earth’s history, from ca. 3.57 Ga to 88 Ma, and probably to present day. Macrodiamonds are interpreted to crystallize from low-density fluids, or carbon- and water-rich melts at pressures >~4.0 GPa and temperatures <~1350°C. These P–T conditions are met within thick, old lithospheric mantle roots that have low paleogeothermal gradients, and these roots lie under ancient continental nuclei. Kimberlite-hosted diamond mines occur in these cratonic shield regions that are older than 2.5 Ga. Macrodiamonds are transported as xenocrysts from the mantle to the surface by kimberlite magmas. The initiation of kimberlite magmatism is at depth in the asthenospheric mantle (>150 km), although the initiation and generation of kimberlite magma is poorly understood. Kimberlites magmas generate a range of rocks that form a wide variety of landforms and intrusions, in many aspects similar to that generated by small-volume alkali basaltic volcanic systems. Kimberlite bodies typically form from mul- tiple intrusive and/or extrusive events; these discrete events form distinct kimberlite phases. These individual kimberlite phases are characterized by differing textures, mineralogy and geochemistry, and diamond grade, size populations and morphology, and value. Résumé Des diamants se sont formés pendant une longue période de l’histoire de la Terre, de 3,57 Ga à 88 Ma environ, et se forment probablement encore de nos jours. Selon diverses interprétations, les macrodiamants se formeraient par cristallisation à partir de fluides de faible densité ou encore de bains magmatiques riches en carbone et en eau à des pressions supérieures à environ 4,0 GPa et à des températures inférieures à environ 1350 oC.

  • First Phase Archaeological and Cultural Heritage Assessment of the Proposed Construction and Refurbishment of the Existing Power
    4 MAY 2008 FIRST PHASE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION AND REFURBISHMENT OF THE EXISTING POWER NETWORK BETWEEN GARIEP DAM AND REDDERSBURG, FREE STATE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eskom intends to refurbish 137km of the existing power line from Ruigtevallei Sub-station (Gariep Dam) to Reddersburg with single steel pole structures. The new power transmission link will be placed close to the existing line. The total distance from Gariep Dam via Springfontein, Trompsburg and Edenburg to Reddersburg was investigated at regular intervals for the occurrence of archaeological, historical and other cultural material. The line will follow the existing route through low-lying grassy plains and no major obstacles occur along the route. The power line developments will have an insignificant effect on the cultural heritage and historical environment of the area. Further planning of the proposed project could continue, and no mitigation measures are anticipated for the proposed power transmission line. INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION Scope and Limitations The investigation provided the opportunity to examine the total corridor at intervals and to consider the route proposed for the transmission power line. No limitations were experienced during site visits. 2 Methodology 1. Specific points were inspected at regular intervals. 2. Features were plotted by GPS and recorded on camera. INVESTIGATION Eskom North Western Region intends to refurbish the existing 66kV power network between Ruigtevallei near Gariep Dam to Reddersburg, Free State (Map 1). The route was examined on 2 and 3 June 2008 in the company of Christine Fouché from Enviroworks Environmental Consultants, Bloemfontein. The total distance of the route was examined at regular intervals and investigated for the occurrence of archaeological, historical and other cultural material.

This will assist to sustain and \ or develop strong, multilingual and improved culture community. By recognising and developing the diversity of languages, nation building will be supported. The national and provincial authorities must therefore take legislative and other measure to regulate and monitor the use of the official languages, and local authorities must take into account the language use of their residents. When the language policy of the Municipal was drafted, the language usage, needs and preference of the public of Kopanong Local Municipality were considered. These were similar to the language usage, needs and preferences identified in Census 2001. Recognising the historical diminished used of indigenous languages of certain groups in South Africa, Kopanong fvlunicipality will use this language policy to take practical and positive measures to evaluate the status quo and advance the use of all official languages. This will help achieve participate democracy, taking into consideration language usage and preferences of its residents ( table01:iiilustrate municipality status) c..Kopanong FS 162: Philippolis, Springfontein, Trompsburg, Edenburg, Faurismith .~.I 22S~sotho433 J II iJ~..
