TWO ANGLO BOER WAR MEDALS AWARDED TO BOER REPUBLICAN POLICEMEN FOR SERVICE IN THE 2ND ANGLO BOER WAR AND A FAKE.
Steve Seargent investigated the life and times of a soldier, liar, policeman and rapist who was the recipient of a Queen Victoria Medal. Patrick Bradley served in the SA Constabulary from 1900 to 1902.
The 49 Afrikaners are not the first to move from South Africa to America. After the Anglo Boer War former Boer fighters settled in Argentina, South America while for e.g. two others settled in North America – incidentally both were in New York, Sgt Andries (Andy or “Tall Andy”) Geyer rose to the rank of sergeant in the New York Police Department (NYPD) and at one time directed traffic on the intersection of Broadway and 42-Street – one of the busiest places in the world. The other one I know of is Fritz Joubert Duquesne – he became amongst other things a spy for the Germans during the Second World War and he and his Spy Ring (including a South African German from Pretoria) was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
