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 communique 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.
