SMG65 Posted 27 September , 2009 Share Posted 27 September , 2009 Has anybody visited the present day sight and if so is the farm still called Boetleers and is it named? I think there are about three farms in that location now. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozzy138 Posted 21 September , 2015 Share Posted 21 September , 2015 I have tried many times to locate the farm and the positions of 1/8 DLI on the night of 25/26 April 1915 but to no avail. The current owners were less than helpful when I visited on the 100th anniversary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMG65 Posted 21 September , 2015 Author Share Posted 21 September , 2015 Wozzy I can help you there, I have progressed my query a lot in 6 years. I've located the site, walked the 8 DLI advance to Kronprinz Farm and the retreat back. I also have all the statements written by the surviving officers in 1921 of the battle and a map drawn by one of them. A couple of friends went on the 100th anniversary and walked the ground.
