When did south Africa declare war against Germany during World War 1?

Answer 1

Delville Wood (in French, Bois Delville) is a small forest adjacent to the village of Longueval in the Somme département of northern France at 50°1′39″N 2°48′45″E / 50.0275, 2.8125Coordinates: 50°1′39″N 2°48′45″E / 50.0275, 2.8125. The wood was the scene of an intense battle between British Empire and German forces during the 1916 Battle of the Somme. The best known unit associated with the fighting in Delville Wood is the South African Brigade, part of the 9th (Scottish) Division - of the 3,433[1] men from the brigade who entered the wood, only 768 emerged unscathed. No prisoners were taken. The ferocity of the fighting is demonstrated by the fact that of the South African casualties [2], the dead outnumbered the wounded by 4 to 1 (in typical trench warfare, the ratio of dead to wounded was 1 to 3). In the words of British military historian Peter Liddle: " The South African Brigade had fought steadfastly under such appalling and prolonged circumstances that in the grim litany of the Somme's savagery of sustained attack and counter-attack, Delville Wood stands unenviably pre-eminent.
