Amendment
In an official communiqué issued at the end of July, figures were given of the total number of the enemy included in the general surrender. The total then given was 4,410, and included the surrender of the main body at Korab, and also troops captured by Brigadier- General Myburgh at Tsumeb on July 6, the surrenders at Grootfontein, Otavifontein, Otavi and Tsumeb, and those who surrendered at Otjiwarongo.
The additional numbers captured or surrendered at various points since General Botha made his advance northwards after occupation of Windhuk are—
To Brigadier-General Myburgh’s force, mostly at Gaub 105
To Brigadier-General Manie Botha’s force between Okaputa and Otavifontein 50
To Brigadier-General Lukin’s force 12
To Brigadier-General Brits’ force, mostly at Namutoni 163
Total 330 Thus the total number of prisoners taken during the last stage of the campaign, viz. from June 18 to July 9, was 4,740.
