Become a Member

The society was formed with the objectives of raising the public awareness of WA’s role in the Second Anglo-Boer of 1899-1902 and perpetuating the memory of all those who served and fell during that conflict. We encourage any one interested in helping to preserve  and promote These events to become a member.

What we do

Each year the BWMSWA holds Commemoration Ceremony recognising the service of those who fought and lost their lives in the Boer War.  This service is held on a Sunday as near as possible to May 31, the day in 1902 the Treaty of Vereeniging was signed to end the war.
