Good day to all members.

We the MOTHS from Walvis Bay Namibia are planning a Centenary Commemoration of WW1... The Battle of Trekkopjes.
This took place between the German soldiers and the Union soldiers.

The planned date is the 24th and 25th of April 2015. There will be a tent town with all necessities available.
I will let the forum know of further details once they are known.
Please let me know if there is anybody who would like to join us that weekend....you are most welcome.
I can be contacted at the email address;

[email protected] for further information.

Kind regards
