Our final event for the year at Fairview Estate was a resounding success. The weather behaved, and we sat on the terrace feasting our eyes on the Tsitsikama mountains while listening to Andrew Rattray’s fascinating tales. Andrew’s talk was followed by a delicious curry lunch. Unfortunately, technical issues occurred during this recording and the early part of Andrew’s talk was not recorded.

We will certainly be returning to Fairview next year to hear more about the Rattray family and their close association with the Natal battlefields and the people involved on both sides of the great battles.
