De Villiers (J.C.) HEALERS, HELPERS AND HOSPITALS, A History of Military Medicine in the Anglo-Boer War, (2 volumes 2008), volume 1, pages 228 – 231, ‘In March 1900, when the Imperial Yeomanry Hospital arrived at Deelfontein, the British medical services were experiencing a desperate shortage of hospital beds and the hospital had to be erected in the shortest possible time to be ready to receive patients….. Deelfontein (4460 feet above sea level) was selected by the local military authorities as the best site for this hospital because of its central location on the Cape Town / Kimberley railway line, 29 miles south of De Aar.'
