October of 1903 witnessed the beginning of what was to be a lengthy, tiresome and expensive colonial war for Germany. It was to prove expensive not only in money it cost Germany some R60,000,000 but also in men, for she was to suffer two thousand military casualties.
The underlying cause of the war was the fear on the part of the indigenous people of South West Africa that the persistent endeavors of the German colonists to acquire possession of tribal lands for the increasing number of German immigrants, would rob them of their traditional unrestricted grazing rights. Smoldering resentment erupted into fiery rebellion in October 1903 in the extreme south in the region occupied by the Bondelswart Nama.
I really wish i could add the photo i just took..I never ever noticed the Eagle beside the soldier's head! Those are the raptors wings over his helmet? Darn...i have such a better photo...it's very "raised up" (the emblem)
