TOTAL ENEMY SURRENDERS
Immediately after the capitulation of the enemy, Brigadier-General
Lukin reported that he had satisfactorily completed the work of
accepting surrenders. The total number of surrenders amounted to
4,410, made up as follows--
Officers of the Active Troops and Police 110
Officers of the Reserve 177
Rank and File of Active Troops and Police 1,548
Rank and File of Reserve 2,575
The Union Forces when at greatest strength numbered 50,000 men.
The Germans when at full strength numbered 9,000, but a proportion of
these consisted of civilians, who eventually refused to serve.
AMENDMENT
In an official _communiqu�_ issued at the end of July, figures were
given of the total number of the enemy included in the general
surrender. The total then given was 4,410, and included the
surrender of the main body at Korab, and also troops captured by
Brigadier-General Myburgh at Tsumeb on July 6, the surrenders at
Grootfontein, Otavifontein, Otavi and Tsumeb, and those who surrendered
at Otjiwarongo.
The additional numbers captured or surrendered at various points since
General Botha made his advance northwards after occupation of Windhuk
are--
To Brigadier-General Myburgh's force,
mostly at Gaub 105
To Brigadier-General Manie Botha's
force between Okaputa and Otavifontein 50
To Brigadier-General Lukin's force 12
To Brigadier-General Brits' force,
mostly at Namutoni 163
Total 330
Thus the total number of prisoners taken during the last stage of the
campaign, viz. from June 18 to July 9, was 4,740.
