On the Veldt in the Seventies 1902

By Sir Charles Warren
1902
Sir Charles Warren (7 February 1840 – 21 January 1927) was a Welsh officer in the British Royal Engineers. He was one of the earliest European archaeologists of the Biblical Holy Land, and particularly of the Temple Mount. Much of his military service was spent in British South Africa. Previously he was Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, the head of the London Metropolitan Police, from 1886 to 1888 during the Jack the Ripper murders. His command in combat during the Second Boer War was criticised, but he achieved considerable success during his long life in his military and civil posts.
The town Warrenton in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa is named after him.
