Wow, that's a nice and solid article. (Some catching-up to do as I was up in Friesland for a couple of days.) Thanks for it, reminding me of the South African songs my mother taught us as my father was born in S.Africa. My grandfather indeed did fight in the Boer War. I've read all of it. Good job. In Friesland they still make you say: "buter, brea en griene tsies", to say it quick is not that easy for us.
