“Commando” - Deneys Reitz: Gamkaskloof
This article examines the discrepancies between Deneys Reitz’s famous war memoir Commando (1929) and his earlier, detailed handwritten journal Herinneringen van den Engelschen Oorlog 1899–1902. By comparing Reitz’s descriptions of events in the Klein Karoo and Gamkaskloof, the author highlights significant factual differences, omissions, and later embellishments. These inconsistencies raise questions about the absolute reliability of Commando, while still acknowledging its enduring literary and historical value. “Teen hierdie agtergrond mag dit aan heiligskennis grens om die waarheid van Reitz se vertellings… enigsins te betwyfel.” SOE – SHORT EXTRACT A comparison of Commando with Reitz’s original 1903 journal reveals notable contradictions in his accounts of Armoed and Gamkaskloof, suggesting later alterations for political, social, or personal reasons. “Die teenstrydige feitebewerings… blyk dan ook duidelik uit die opsommings hierbo gegee.”
