Marquard,  Moderator of the Dutch Reformed church of the Orange Free State and his family were living in the parsonage at Winburg, a small town some sixty miles west of Bloemfontein. Four days after war broke out, Marquard’s wife Margaret began to record day-to-day happenings at Winburg in the form of letters to her mother at Stellenbosch and her husband on commando.’
