From Jon Clapham: Most of my resorces come from my gramps Doug Clapham who belonged to the Geneology and Heraldic societey of S.A and UK as he used to do Heraldry and Family trees. I've also used other sites to confirm his resorces.He was also the curator for most of the war Museums in KZN. He also did a lot of the Coat of Arms for Schools and Cities eg Greytown, Escort etc and the Comrades Marothon badge obviously cause my Great Gramps Vic was the founder.
I believe a lot of Jan Thomas's belongings are in the Voortrekker Museum in PMB. I'm just waiting for more info which my dads cousin Gordon Martens to send me some more info and photo's Unfortunately he's in Pretoria and I'm on the West Coast in the Cape
