Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: Plaket met inskripsie te Surrender Hill, langs die Clarens-Fouriesburgpad in die oos-Vrystaat, Suid-Afrika. Die inskrif lui:
"In Julie 1900 is 'n groot deel van die Vrystaatse magte in die Brandwaterkom deur Britse troepe omsingel. Gen C R De Wet en ongeveer 2 000 man het oor Slabbertsnek ontsnap. In die bergkom het Hoofkomdt. Marthinus Prinsloo die bevel oorgeneem en op 29 Julie tot oorgawe ingestem. Meer as 4 300 boere het hul wapens neergelê, die meeste by Surrender Hill. Hier het die Britse troepe die gebuite wapens en ammunisie vernietig. Die kaal kolle wat deur die brand en ontploffende ammunisie veroorsaak is herinner aan een van die grootste terugslae van die boere gedurende die Anglo-Boereoorlog (1899-1902). Geproklameer 1986. Raad vir Nasionale Gedenkwaardighede." English: Plaque with inscription at Surrender Hill, beside the Clarens-Fouriesburg road in the eastern Free State, South Africa. The inscription reads: "In July 1900 a large part of the Free State armed forces was surrounded by British troops in the Brandwater Basin. Gen. C.R. De Wet and about 2 000 men escaped over Slabbert’s Nek. In the basin Chief Comdt Marthinus Prinsloo assumed command and on 29 July agreed to surrender. More than 4 300 Boers laid down their arms, most of them at Surrender Hill, where the British destroyed the captured arms and ammunition. The bare patches caused by the fire and exploding ammunition serve as a reminder of one of the most serious setbacks suffered by the Boers during the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). National Monuments Council." |
