Thank you, Pat. That is interesting, indeed.
Any book concerning the topic of SA Loyalists is rare.
It is pretty-well known the number of combatants and
civilians who died on the Boer side, and many of their
names -- but records about Loyalist deaths in the ABW
seem hard to come by now.
Regards - Sidney.
