Recipes and Sorties updated 8 May 2010
Welcome to our site, the purpose of which is to provide the following:
1. A history of the KwaZulu Natal town of Ladysmith.
2. The two famous stories of the town, the Siege of Ladysmith and the Relief of Ladysmith.
3. A database of the residents of Ladysmith from its earliest days to around 1900.
4. A database of all known British military personnel who died during the whole of the second Boer War.
It is my intention to expand the site as I continue my research into this fascinating subject to eventually achieve an authentic account of Ladysmith’s history. As with all new projects, glitches will occur, so if errors are found, articles need to be amended or you have constructive criticism, then comments are invited.
Articles for inclusion in the “Soldiers tales” page or any other, should be accompanied by authentication, where applicable, and it would be helpful if presented in MS WORD and Jpeg formats.
Almost all the information and photographs contained in this website are by kind permission of the Ladysmith Siege Museum and I owe Fifi Meyer and her team a big vote of thanks!
Any information pertaining to this website would be much appreciated whether it be a recipe from granny’s cookbook, family details or information on the town itself.
Thanks for catching our site, enjoy.
