Gen. BOTHA and SMUTS are always to be rememberd as South African Boer soldiers whom became great British Leaders in South Africa and in the United Kingdom.

Gen. SMUTS was even selected by Winston CHURCHILL in WWII to replace him as PM, in the event that he was killed...
Gen. SMUTS was also responsible for the Formation of the Royal Air Force, seperate to the Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service.

Excellent subjects to remember for WWI and WWII.
