Hello Iain,
I think about the famous West Street a great deal as a badge collector, so many badges were made there, during the Anglo Boer War!
Regards Frank

Wow yes 5 years ago... that is how long I have to go on pension, and if it goes that fast then that is scary!

Only a pleasure, glad the article was of help.

On the topic of the WWII association between the ILH and the KR, the LHR still wear a single small Kimberley regt button to hold the lanyard.

That's okay, I was merely being rather flippant, I always think of Martin West and of course, Westville, in particular, when ever I think of Durban.

Seems we have a Pixley Seme st in Jo'burg now; Sauer St has been renamed. Apparently he had something to do with the founding of the ANC

I certainly can't imagine Hans Sauer being a member of the ANC!

a little ambiguous perhaps but I wonder if, now that the DA controls the City of Joburg, there will be another name change?
