Bloemfontein as military headquarters in the second half of the 19th century, with special reference to the Reitz era, 1889–1895
2021-05-28"The article clearly shows that although the OFS’s State Artillery was gradually expanded in the course of the second half of the 19th century and all the state’s presidents, including F.W. Reitz, took a keen interest in the defence of the OFS, it did not save the Boer republic from British conquest in 1900."

2021-05-28"Die OVS se militêre voorbereidings onder leiding van die Reitz-regering, en daarna dié van die Steyn-regering, was dus nie voldoende om die OVS (en dus ook Bloemfontein as regeringsetel) uit die kake van die Britse Ryk te red nie. Dit het egter nie eerloos vir die OVS afgeloop nie."
