Summary

[edit]
Description
English: After the Second Boer War (1899-1902) between the British Commonwealth and the Orange Free State and South African Republic, the Department of Crown Lands offered to Veterans free land grants. Veterans were notified by mail and sent a certificate similar to the one later in this photo stream. This certificate offered the land grant of 160 acres for an administration fee of $5.00.

The presentation of the certificate to any Crown Lands Agent started the process of selecting the land parcel. Veterans had 2 years after receipt of the certificate to present same to an Agent.
A pamphlet was prepared describing the lands available and a list of townships with lands in the program.
