* The First Boer War started on and ended on 16 December 1880 until 23 March 1881. It is important to note that after the Battle of Amajuba on 27 February 1881 (where Major-General Sir George Pomeroy Colley, the Brittish commander died) there was a cease fire that lasted to the end of the war. * The Second Boer War (which is probably the one referred to) started on 11 October 1899 and ended on 31 May 1902. However, the last set battle was fought between 21 to 27 August 1900 and despite having both their capitals fallen and their countries overrun the Boers continued to fight.
