"Christiaan Rudolf de Wet (7 October 1854 – 3 February 1922) was a Boer general, rebel leader and politician.
Born on the Leeuwkop farm, in the district of Smithfield in the Boer Republic of the Orange Free State, he later resided at Dewetsdorp, named after his father, Jacobus Ignatius de Wet.
Rudyard Kipling's 1903 poem Ubique mentions de Wet.[dead link]
De Wet was a close personal friend of Helene Kröller-Müller (1869-1939), who commissioned a statue of him in the Hoge Veluwe National Park in the Netherlands." - (en.wikipedia.org 08.08.2021)
