Lt William Frederick Bell won the Victoria Cross for consipicuous gallantry at Brakpan in the South African War (Boer War). On the 16 May 1901 at Brakpan, Transvaal, South Africa, when retiring under heavy fire after holding the right flank when he saw a colleague who was dismounted. In spite of the intensity of fire he turned about, went to the man's aid, and took him up behind him on his horse. The weight of the two men proved too great for the animal, which fell with them. Bell thereupon insisted that the man should mount the horse and make his escape. Bell remained behind and covered his retirement until he was out of danger.
The following is a more detailed account of the action at Brakpan:
"In May and June 1901 the Fifth and Sixth WA Mounted Infantry Contingents were searching for Boer parties in open country east
of Johannesburg. In a severe engagement on 15 May, five members of the Sixth Contingent were killed. The following day Boers
ambushed the Contingent in long grass in marshy country. They let the leading scouts pass by, then opened fire at close range on the
main body. Galloping for the safety of high ground, the West Australians were pursued by Boers firing from horseback. A retreating
horse fell with its rider. Lieutenant Bell hoisted the man up behind, but their combined weight was too great for his horse. Bell sent
the man on to safety on the horse while he gave rapid covering fire from behind an anthill, covering not only the man's retreat but that
of Captain Campbell, a brother officer with another rescued rider mounted behind him. For his bravery that day, Bell was awarded the
Victoria Cross"

Marie Christine Louise Bottcher, known as "Mary", was the first born child of Wilhelm and Wilhemina Bottcher (n. Dahn) Born in Berlin, Prussia (Germany)on 20th Aug 1881. She immigrated to Brisbane, Qld, Australia, with her parents and three brothers Hans (John), Wilhelm (William) and Rudolph. Arriving aboard the "Bulimba" in Brisbane on 22 August 1887.
Mary celebrated her 6th birthday aboard the Bulimba two days before arriving in Brisbane.
She remembered her grandfather, Frederick Dahn,whom was serving in the Prussian Army, dressed in a long coat and spear topped helmet, lifting her up onto his white horse and placing his helmet upon her head.
Her Grandmother,Christina Dahn,gave her a set of diamond earrings for her pierced ears. But when she came to Australia, the older girls at the school she attended in Ipswich, Queensland, tricked her into swapping them for cheap red glass earrings.
Because Wilhelm, Mary's father, was away at sea a lot, she worked from the age of ten. One of her jobs was looking after the children of the Governor of Darlinghurst Gaol and his wife. Neither of whom were very kind to Mary. Mary walked from her home at St Peters to the Governor's Home Daily. It is said "she polished their shoes with her tears, she was so unhappy. On one occasion the Governors wife asked her to give the left over food scraps to the dog. Instead, Mary took them home for her hungry brothers and sisters. When the lady of the house found out, she was dismissed.
On finding out she had been dismissed, her father Wilhelm, instructed her to go back and ask for her job back. Before she left, she was sitting in the gutter crying, outside the house next door, (10 Campbell St)when their neighbor, Mrs Neal, Stewart's Mother, came out and comforted her. It is not known whether she was given her job back or not.
In November 1900, Mary aged 19 and Stewart aged 22 married at St Pauls Church of England, Redfern, New South Wales, Australia.
Mary and Stewart Neal lived at 8 Brown Street, St Peters, opposite Mary's parents home. Stewart worked long hours, driving a wagon pulled by a team of horses, delivering bricks from the local brick works.
A Mixture of English and German was spoken at home until the death of Wilhemina in 1904. At this time Mary aged 22 had three children of her own.
With the death of her mother, sister Cleopatra and her eleven month old baby Henry the year 1904 must have been heart breaking.
In approximately 1914, it is said that Mary received her Australian Citizenship, although a search of online records does not reveal any records held in Canberra or New South Wales.
In 1915 the Neal family moved to Join Stewarts sister Elizabeth in Goulburn It was here', that Olive and Arthur were born.
By the end of 1917, Mary, Stewart and the children returned to St Peters and it was here that baby Arthur died.
When her son Robert died in 1931 his children Marie 2yrs and Bobby 6 weeks would have been put into the States care. But Mary and Stewart adopted them and raised them as their own children.
Mary's grand children remember her as having a beautiful face, with her hair tied up in a bun, with little curls around her face. She was a biggish woman, had a nice smile, seldom lost her temper, but just the same would stand up for herself and in the end would laugh it off.
It is said, Mary gave good cuddles and was a good cook. At Christmas he would make short bread house, Fruit cakes and sponges on her wood fire oven. For the kids she made a stick toffee, wrapping it around a wooden spoon. Rudi and Freddie would often pop in to visit Mary and her family.
At home she always wore an apron, in its pocket she kept crochet or knitting and worked on it while waiting for the meal to cook.
She was always busy, with 13 kids what else would you expect, but she would always manage to provide and extra plate of food for an unexpected visitor.
In the later years they would eat well at the big kitchen table. Stewart would bring home prawns at 6 pence a bucket. He was never mean with food. Stewart often took the kids for a ride on the back of his wage. Many a Sunday would be spent on picnics on the banks of the Cooks or Georges Rivers.
Mary died on the 8th March 1964 of Carcinoma, aged 82 years and was buried at Rookwood Cometary next to her husband Stewart.
At the time of her death, Mary lived at 7 Belgium St Riverwood NSW with her son Ernest and daughter Olive.
Mary and Stewart had 14 Children, 41 Grand Children, 79 Great Grandchildren, 71 Great Great Grandchildren and 11 Great Great Great Grandchildren.
The grand children of Mary and Stewart remember the house at 70 Belmore Rd Punchbowl with affection. It stood on a five acre block (it is now the entrance to Austral Brick Works at no. 62).
Memories of Mary:
An Outstanding Layd, her wise counsel and good cooking and Stewart with his horses still lives on.
