OU DELVILL WOOD SOLDAAT tot DELWER

Net soos die du Plessis storie, en n paar ander kon ek nie ophou soek aan hierdie Genealogie nie.

Arthur Cromwell Stanley, was volgens homself (n brief) n slagoffer van omstandighede en dat hy meer verwag het van die destydse regering, hy was n weermag Lieutenant (waarnemende Kaptein) hy het Delville Wood oorleef. Hy het baie sterk gevoel dat hy vir sy land geveg het, en dat die regering nie na sy mense “post-war” omsien nie.

Ek stem volkome saam met Arthur, die staat kyk nie na sy “post-war” mense nie, maar dit beteken steeds nie dit gee enige mens die reg om te moor nie.

Area Mosesberg, Kimberley.

Arthur was n diamant delwer, dus het hy in daardie kringe rond beweeg.

Steve Lunderstedt wrote on the KImberely watch, mostly Bennett’s words…

The popular and well-known Kimberley diamond buyer William John Thompson never saw the sun that rose just after 5 am on the morning of Wednesday 7 March 1923. He lay dead in the front passenger seat of his car, a bullet through his head, at the gate to Frederick Vigne’s farm. The farm, Rust-en-Vrede, is some 7 miles (13 kilometres) out of Kimberley on the Schmidtsdrift road. The driver of the car, Leslie Duncan Seitz, wounded, survived and was receiving attention at the farm homestead.
