A town in the South African Republic in the district of Gauteng, 33 km west of Johannesburg. Burghers from the town and district formed a commando which saw action on the Natal front. After the battle of Doornkop on 29 May 1900 many burghers retired to Krugersdorp. The town was occupied by Lt-Gen Sir A Hunter's 10th infantry division on 18 June and garrisoned by the 1st The Royal Welsh Fusilier and half a battalion of the 2nd The Royal Scots Fusilier from Maj-Gen G. Barton's 6th infantry brigade. Lt-Gen Lord Methuen's 1st infantry division concentrated at Krugersdorp on 18 July for action in the western Transvaal. Krugersdorp was an important supply centre for activities in this area. In December 1901 Commandant Daniel van Schalkwyk, was tried by court martial in Krugersdorp (or Warm Baths) and convicted of treachery for shooting a British soldier at Uitkomst after he had surrendered. He was executed that month. It was the location of both white and black concentration refugee camps.
