People who did NOT bend the knee to the Empire! I am a very proud Boer

It was the biggest empire in the world against the smallest civilized nation in the world. Hordes of professional soldiers against a handful of farmers and hunters, fighting for their homes. Not just our able bodied men, but 80 year old deaf great-grandfathers, 13 and 14 year old boys, fought back with everything they had. The evil empire thought they would crush us in a month or two. We fought them head to head for years. It was a terrible embarrassment for them. They could not beat us in a fair fight, so they made war on our women and children, burning our homesteads and starving our families to death in concentration camps. The evil empire's lust for gold had to be satisfied, even at the expense of any decency. I am grateful for my forefathers and proud to be a Boer.

Viva os Boeres! A salute from a portuguese brother! We fought together before and when the dark hour comes, God willing, we shall again. Keep your marksmanship sharp and your boys virile! Eendracht maak mag!

Tough people now and then, they fought for their freedom and gave hell to the British. Respect.

Some of these fighters are mere adolescent boys , but have a chilling look of no fear and welcome the fight

Proud to be a BOER !!!! We bow down to to Nobody except ALMIGHTY GOD.

How South Africa was made. We all owe these people so much. Thank your Boers.

Hi the Netherlands here. My great grandfather fought as a Dutch volunteer in the boerenoorlog.He was 18 years young and survived.

vir Boere sal ek nooit weggaan nie, ek sal veg tot my laaste asem. Germaans van ordentlik, Boer van geboorte, Boer tot die dood💪💪💪💪

Tribute to this fearless real heros . From india

I am so happy that you could bring colour to my people during the war. Thank you so much. Baie Dankie!!

Love and respect and peace and GOD BLESS THE BOERS!!!! THEY DID NOT STEAL ANY LAND!!!! From the Philippines!!!!

I’m totally in awe with the brave boer fighters winning & holding there own against biggest empire of all time

Though all of South Africa's brutal history and it's current political mishaps I as a black man think that all South Africans should know it's history nd I love and respect all cultures of ur highly Underrated County of ours.

brave Boer peoples, hugs from Brazil, dapper Boerevolk

I always had a fascination with the Boer War and looked up to the Boer Commandos as one of history’s proverbial David’s vs (British Empire )Goliath! 🇺🇸

I love the boers , their history , their culture , their language , their fights , their courage . A unique people in the world . Respect !

As ek omdraai, skiet my. As ek val, wreek my. As ek storm, volg my!

And then to realise it were boers who fought for thier land and home even makes me proud after so many years to be a farmers son...❤

The boers were a fascinating people, peaceful & the best skills at war against the Terran of the British & the zulu

Respect from México 🇲🇽 VIVA BOERE VIVA

Respect to Delarey from Morocco

Ek is ‘n rooinek but I had an Afrikaans Mother-in-law, it has given me a deep love for the Afrikaans people and their language

I am a proud descendant my mom side is Afrikaner her ancestry goes back to the Dutch and French my fathers ancestry is British he was also born in South Africa, completed service as a paratrooper. My mom family has been in South Africa since early 1700 as per the genealogy. I inherited the Dutch Bible from my mom the Bible our voortrekker ancestors used in the early days still has their hand marks on the pages. When I was a child in the early 1981 I met my great grand father on my mom side (he only spoke Afrikaans) he was born in the year 1898 spent his life as a sheep farmer in a rural area and I saw a painting or old photo of his parents back then. My great grand father dressed almost like the men in this photos. My great grandfather and his sons were large strong built men. Even though from rural areas I remember them being gentle family type men. I live in South Africa.

My great great grandfather fought behind enemy lines in the cape and was never caught by the english. I was born in Bloemfontein and this video makes me so proud of my heritage

Dit roer my hart tot in sy diepste holtetjie rou vlees in!! Dit is nou honderd jaar terug.... Ek kyk na hierdie mans in bewondering.....

Those old photos are still full of life and lots of energy!

Wilde en geharde MANNE met ystere wil en deursettingsvermoëns wat 'n oortjie op 100m kon raakskiet. Gee my sommer 'n knop in my keel. Dis waar ons vandaan kom. Dis ons voorvaders en ons geskiedenis en erfenis. HULLE HET VIR ONS GEVEG! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I like this. At 3:03 the boys have the ladder sights all the way up. Shooting at 600 to 800 yards. Marksmen every one! Good stuff!

The Boers are not just supermen, they are hypermen. Against impossible ods! Respect!

True freedom fighters!

Makes me think of my ancestors from Virginia and North Carolina who fought for the Southern Confederacy. Some of them died in concentration camps too.

They migrated from Europe compelled by religious persecution. They settled in South Africa where they fought to settle in but a small region. An empire saw the value (in mineral resources) of the Boer land and invaded them. This empire could not beat the Boers on the "field of battle". Said empire resorted to winning by burning down Boer homes and crops then placing all Boer wives, children, and elderly within Earth's first known concentration camp. The Boers, driven by Faith and Blood, could not be bested im combat... not even by an empire.

I feel for the boers,there were a great people so inavative and great fighters fighting for peace which the English wasn’t going to give them

The finest that Europeans had to offer the world.

This video makes me proud to be a Boer! Eendragt maakt magt!

My great grandfather, an Irishman, got killed while fighting the English on Boer side, my grandfather fought in east Africa 1914-1918 against von Forbregh and walked away with the military cross, I ended up in the Namibian bush war and walked away with the honorus cross, I recon war is in our blood.

I remember seeing a monument in Wales to the British dead. The monument should have been to the Boer civilians.

Good colorized photos of the Boers. Your heroism will never be forgotten. You gave the world's greatest empire a very hard time. Good for you.

The British soldiers ended up with the greatest respect for these stealthy fighters, which eventually gave the world the name "Commando" for its elite troops.

Very impressive people fighting a whole empire

Господи! Какие открытые и убеждённые в своей правоте лица! Какое чувство собственного достоинства и некоторая обречённость: ведь понимали, что исход предрешён.... Вооружённый трудовой народ победить тяжелее, чем толпу бунтующих потребителей. Выводы правителями сделаны. Через сто лет создано общество потребителей.

Those great men. Bitter enders yet didn't gave a damn!

Thank you for sharing this video with me and many others. A time almost forgotten!

Look, I confess that I cried watching this video. I'm Angolan, but i'm a son, grandson and great-grandson of Boeres. Although i don't live in South Africa and Namibia, my momma always taught me to be Boer, culturally and so on. Ek is baie trots om 'n Boer te wees. 👌 Afrika, eendag sal jou Boerekinders verenig Afrika ons leef vir jou.🙏

The Boer warrior is an fierce opponent. Tough , not battle shy and highly skilled with a mauser in his hands.

At the time, the costliest war Brittain ever fought. Legend has it they thought it'd be over in a month or two....

Eternal heroes

Excellent material and coloration. The determination etched in every face - stunning and thank you - lest we forget a proud and resilient nation who went from virtual annihilation to greatness by their faith, their superhuman strength of character and sheer hard work and personal sacrifices along the route.

0:43 that picture is so impresive the grandfather, the son and the grandson fighting together for the Boer's cause!

Those boers were handsome and slim !!

Good rifle , good marksmanship, good tactics, good artillery, good generals, a very formidable army .

The boers were such a tough great & impressive looking people,what incredible photos with these brave boers all massed together

What fantastic photos,the boers looked really impressive in there photos,they were also no push over,44.000 vs 500.000

They were Brave they would be ashamed of us. Where are all the men gone

A good vid i must say always on point as always well done Tinus long may you continue doing them

Utter greatness of the Boers!

Pragtige aanbieding en foto's. Baie danki.💯

Ek is n Scotlander, en het Afrikaans geleer op die krag stasies en myne van die Oos Transvaal. Dankie om te vertel die vragtige storie.

The coloured pictures are so special. I am proud to be descendant of those people. I am proud to have had family participate at Blood River (and I still hold Gelofte!), and both Boer Wars. Proud of how they fought, against all odds and an enemy killing our innocents!! Hitler learned his trade from the British!! And never have they ever uttered one word in excuse or sympathy! May we NEVER forget the sacrifice of our people for this country. May it one day be what it should have been! @Tinus le Roux, baie dankie vir die kleur fotos. DIt is so spesiaal!

These were real men.

Die belangrikste dag in die Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis word steeds gevier en vereer deur diegene wat God liefhet en in hul harte hou, die gelofte aan God. 'N Gelofte wat belowe, dat as God hulle verlos van hul vyand, dat hulle en hul kinders en kleinkinders vir 'n geslag sal kom, vier hierdie dag, 16 Desember, as 'n heilige dag wat vir God afgesonder is, vir sy goedheid en barmhartigheid aan 'n minderheid mense teen 'n sterk en magtige vyand. God seën elkeen van hul gesinne met veiligheid en sekuriteit wat hul geloftes van die skrik wat hulle elke dag in hierdie land teëkom, sal eer en vervul. Hy is nie 'n man om voor te lieg nie, en ook nie soos die mensekinders om te belowe en nie te onderhou nie. God is getrou om sy beloftes na te kom. Dankie, Vader God. Mag u my en my huis seën met u redding vir geslagte in Jesus Naam. amen #bloedrivier #16Desember1838 #Gelofte #Boere #Afrikaner #SuidAfrika #Voortrekkerhoogte #Pretoria

Dankie Tinus, my hart bars van trots! Ons sal lewe, ons sal sterwe, ons vir jou Suid Afrika ❤

Great get video - especially the colourisation Odd to notice how many oft he Boers went into battle wearing a collar and a tie. sunday best

I’m English I totally respect the boers,they were no push over.

Paris France on behalf of the French Huguenot of old we have not forgotten our heritage from the Lord or the price we paid for holding dear our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in the face of the wrath of the king and fellow countrymen.

Shooting and accurate grouping is a skill passed down from generation to generation. I wish the Brits understood this concept ...

Always enjoy your vids, Tinus, they're special. You did a great job of sharpening and especially coloring. And the faces of these men...

Baie mooi !

Wow just wow what men real men

Baie dankie vir die video.

One last time....one last lfight for our freedom.....very soon....

The desire for self determination...it is still there. Nobody will stop it!

Warrior bloodline.

All legends in my eyes. Afikaners really need to look up to the people who fought for a purpose. War is not the solution but we must stand together and become like one man. We cannot allow the SA government to dismantle us incessantly and destroy our language, culture and our humanity.

my Volk , so Trots...vergeet nooit die opoffering nie

Grandpa would tell us the history of his father... trully heartbreaking 😭😭😭😭😭

As British as I am, The Boers taught us a lesson, administered a bloody nose, but more importantly taught us facets of modern warfare that stood us in good stead for WW1 (ignoring the incompetence of our generals )

Respect these people build up Afrika from jungle to a great place

this video makes me proud i don't know if this applies here but "they shall never grow old" Rip. i love that my ancestors the Boer, a farming community won a war with the british empire that controlled over 50 percent of the world at that time.

You can see the determination in their eyes! As Great Britain learned from fighting the Boers, it’s not the size of the person in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the person.

Respect.

Thank you,it is my people,I am a proud BOER

Nice to see you back Tinus 👍🏻

No more fighting for me. Never again. Not for borders or golden stones or intellectual standing ground. No more heartbreaking trauma like this in young peoples faces. I thank you for your work and time for it reminded me what sick things happend to my fathers fathers fathers, leaving me with a deppresion given to me by my mothers mothers mother....? Make art. Not war. Show them. Dont tell them. No more fighting for ladys in castles or fat men in suits. No matter what the neighbour thinks.

"God en die Mauser"

Respect to the Boer freedom fighters, they remind me of the Palestinian freedom fighters, both are brave, and self-sacrificing people who were both fighting for their country, and loved ones. All freedom fighters know they are free even with shackles on they persevere.

I am a Boer,Eendracht maakt macht!

Die 4 kleur gaan weer waai , in my beloved country South Africa

Prachtig gemaakt.

Великолепно!

RESPECT to Boer fighters from Greece

Vive les Boers

WE WILL NOT FORGET
