Boer negotiators travelled from Vereeniging to Pretoria to present their proposals

Boer negotiators travelled from Vereeniging to Pretoria to present their proposals for surrender to British representatives,  Lord Milner and Lord Kitchener. They were still asking for a continued independence of the Boer republics. This happened towards the end of the Anglo-Boer War II which broke out in October 1899. It ended with the signing of the Peace Treaty of Vereeniging on 31 May 1902.
