	Koos de la Rey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Koos de la Rey (Jacobus Herculaas de la Rey) (22 October 1847 - 15 September 1914) was a Boer general during the Second Boer War and is widely regarded as being one of the greatest military leaders during that conflict.
		De la Rey opposed the war until the last, but when he was once accused of cowardice during a Volksraad session, he replied that if the time for war came, he would be fighting long after all those clamoring for war had given up.
		Koos de la Rey took part in the peace talks at Vereeniging in 1902, which lead to the Treaty of Vereeniging.

		De la Rey was still grieving for the loss of his son and his men were pressuring him to execute the general.

		De la Rey believed this was okay in the days of muzzle loaders and older rifles, but with a deadly range of 2200 meters, the mauser bullet was wasted.
		De la Rey insisted that the buildings and bushes on the north bank were the perfect targets for british artillery, so hated and feared by the burgers who had been shelled twice in the last 5 days in Belmont and Graspan.
		De la rey got his way through force of character, and with the help of a German engineer they bulit a system of well disguised trenches and foxholes on the south bank, leaving a few exposed positions on the north bank to confuse the British.
