Reddersburg is a small town in the Free State province of South Africa. ==History== The town was established around the Reformed Church Reddersburg, which was established on the farm Thorbeck on 7 May 1859. The church counsel bought the farm Vlakfontein to establish the town. The name is Afrikaans and means "Saviour's Town", from "God is our Saviour". The town was managed by the church until 1894 when it was handed over to the municipality on agreement that a hereditary tenure of 33 pounds sterling must be paid by the municipality to the church on an annual basis. During the Second Boer War, Reddersburg was the site of one of the last victories for the Boer forces over the British. Troops led by General Christiaan de Wet attacked a convoy of 600 of the Royal Irish Rifles on April 4, 1900, and obtained their surrender the next day.〔Thomas Pankenham, ''The Boer War'' (Random House, 1979) p417〕 File:Old CNO school, Reddersburg.JPG|Old CNO school File:21 Boshof street, Reddersburg.JPG|21 Boshof street 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reddersburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
