Anglo Boer War: Original Map of Hopefield used by General Smuts during his Cape Colony infiltration
General Smuts gave this map as a present to the well-known South African Author and Historian Jose Burman (now deceased) in person during the 1940s - see letter below.
It is interesting to note that General Smuts actually grew up in this area as a boy as his father had a farm near Riebeeck West in the “Swartland” – currently in the northern (west-coast) part of the Western Cape. The map is a fold-out booklet and is made from durable woven paper; so it is still in fine condition. It was originally drawn up by British Intelligence so was probably taken from a British Officer by the Boers.
