A spring, a water source.
Fouché, Vecht-General W. D.
Having achieved the rank of Commandant at twenty-five years of age, Fouché was active on behalf of
the Boers in Cape Colony, first with Assistant Chief-commandant Kritzinger and then with Assistant
Commandant-general Jan Smuts. He was promoted in 1902 and led operations in the Cape Midlands.
These actions in Cape Colony were an additional worry for the British, but were not a major factor in
the conduct of the war. In the First World War he served under Louis Botha against the Germans in
South West Africa.

Fourteen Streams
The railway station at Fourteen Streams near the Vaal River was the place to which the Boers
retreated after the relief of Kimberley in February 1900. Some 3,000 burghers and six guns, under the
command of Vecht-general S. P. du Toit, had arrived here by March and a council of war was held
here in April 1900, but the position was abandoned in May without a fight. The railway bridge over
the Vaal had been blown up and a temporary bridge took its place for the time being.

force and the loss of thirty Boers
