G Force Middelburg

[Bok Wykes]

Duringthis era, the unit was mainly used for area force protection, search and cordones as well as stock theft control assistance to the rural police. The unit was part of the Danie Theron Group of the Northern Transvaal Command. It was then placed under the command of Group 12 HQ at Ermelo.

This unit, along with all other Commando units was disbanded after a decision by South African President Thabo Mbeki to disband all Commando Units.[7][8] The Commando system was phased out between 2003 and 2008 "because of the role it played in the apartheid era", according to the then Minister of Safety and Security, Charles Nqakula.[9]

On may 10th 1940 our country becomes involved in the Second World War (1940-1945) after German troop breach the sovereignty of the Dutch borders. This violation of the Dutch neutrality meant that the Netherlands, for the first time since over a century, became involved in a war in Europe again.

The German plan of attack on the Netherlands initially entailed the avoidance of a confrontation with the Dutch on the waterfront. Instead, the Germans used large scaled airborne assaults to infiltrate Fort Holland. During the first hours of the battle, German airborne soldiers successfully managed to occupy the Maas bridges near Rotterdam and the Moerdijk bridges near Dordrecht, as well as the airbase Waalhaven. Nevertheless, the aerial assault near Den Haag ended with a victory for the Dutch, as Dutch troops managed to reclaim 3 airbases near the city.

The most important theater of war in the Netherlands during the may period of 1940, however, was North-Brabant. This is also were the German 9th panzer division started their objective of relieving the German airborne troops in Fort Holland. The Allied troops had a similar goal of reaching the Dutch defense lines through North-Brabant. Consequently, immediately after the German invasion became known, the French sent the troops of their 7th army division to Breda and Tilburg.

On may 11th, the Grebbe line, located in the center of the country was attacked. After intense fighting, a German breakthrough took place after which the Dutch army command evacuated the important tactical position on may 13th. Nevertheless, the German occupation in the north of the Netherlands was stopped near the defense line of Kornwerderzand, located at the start of the Afsluitdijk.

In the meantime, the government and the Dutch royal family had already left the country. General Winkelman, the commander in chief of the air- and land forces, pressured by the threat of the German occupant with regard to more bombardments on Dutch cities, decided to opt for surrender on may 15th. During the five days of battle in may 1940, 2.200 Dutch soldiers died in addition to the 2.700 wounded. The number of deceased Dutch civilians was approximately 2.000.

The province of Zeeland and the Dutch navy were the only ones exempted from the capitulation. The French, who came to aid the Dutch and entered our country through Belgium and Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, continued the battle in Zeeland.

The German Waffen SS units received the order to overrun the last remaining part of the Netherlands which was not yet occupied. Despite pressure from the local Dutch government, the French allies refused to forfeit the fight in Zeeland. After the abandoned Bathline was broken on May 15th, the German troops advanced into Southern Beveland. However, the advance was stopped at the Sloedam. As a result, the Germans directed their firepower at Middelburg. Consequently, the French then retaliated by firing on the German positions.

After the horrible events of Friday May 17th 1940, the consequences of the bombardments became clear. Luckily, Middelburg only sustained approximately 20 casualties. Moreover, the total amount of casualties was relatively low due to the advice of evacuating the city, on account of the mayor, Mr. Dr. J. van Walr de Bordes.

The material damage, however, was enormous. A grand total of 573 buildings (residential buildings and companies) plus 18 public buildings were destroyed. As a result, 800 people from Middelburg became homeless.

Law enforcement or an insurance company may have found you at fault for the accident, but both findings are unreliable. Law enforcement lacks the resources to perform a thorough investigation, and insurance companies have a financial interest in finding you at fault, making their investigations biased against you.

Most personal injury lawsuits in Middleburg and throughout Florida will be subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This gives you two years from the date of your accident or the discovery of your injury to file a lawsuit.

As the struggle for Zeeland drew to a conclusion the German airforce bombed Middelburg, destroying more than 600 buildings in its historic centre. A day later Dutch forces surrendered while French troops retreated south. The good news for modern-day visitors is that the entire city centre was reconstructed after the war, retaining its medieval core.

Construction of the Stadhuis started in 1452 and was only finished 70 years later. The building is decorated with numerous statues of the Counts and Countesses of Zeeland. Most of the facade survived the German bombing but the interior was gutted by fire. Restoration work started immediately after the war and the building was reopened in 1950.

After more than a decade in London it seemed like time to do something completely different, and with the support of our friends in Bolivia we hatched a plan to move to this high altitude Andean nation for a year (maybe more)...

They were met by Hubert Vorster, Chairman of the Heritage Foundation and Don Watt-Pringle. This body in conjunction with the local Tourism Board is to be congratulated on restoring this cemetery. The area is very neat and tidy, graves have been repaired and much painting has taken place. One of the missing entrance gates has been found and the cemetery is now secure.

It is indeed encouraging to note the good work being done by local communities in preserving their heritage. It adds to the good name of the town and the economic benefits are significant. Simply work out what 20 persons spend on food and accommodation, petrol and the like. It is no small figure. Well done to the Middelburg Heritage Foundation and all who share this passion!
