General Ben., J. Viljoen, late of the army of the South African Republic, will give a talk at 7.30 o'clock this evening in the Living Room of the Union, on "The Anglo-Boer War." The talk will be open only to members of the Union.

He played a prominent part in the battles of Colenso, Spion Kop and Vaalkrantz, besides being on active campaigning duty at other times. On January 25, 1902, he was captured by the British and sent to St. Helena, where he was imprisoned until the end of the war. He was also a member from Johannesberg in the Transvaal Volksraad.
