FIELD MARSHALL JAN SMUTS (1870-1950) VINTAGE 1950S PORTRAIT PHOTO FRAMED
AN OLD 1950S COLOUR PHOTOGRAPH (I DO NOT SEE A MOIR PATTERN) OR POSSIBLE HIGH DEFINITION PRINT (AT BACK IS MARKED IN PEN 134/5) OF A PORTRAIT PAINTING OF FIELD MARSHALL JAN SMUTS IN FIELD MARSHALL ARMY DRESS.
FIELD MARSHALL JAN SMUTS (1870-1950): Field Marshal Jan Smuts (18701950). He famously fought the British in the Anglo Boer War and was one of the negotiators at the Vereeniging peace treaty. Alongside General Louis Botha, he convinced the Boer hardliners to agree to the Union of South Africa (1909). Smuts became Minister of Defence, Mines and the Interior and created the Union Defence Force. He later became Prime Minister of South Africa and led his country to fight alongside the allies in the First and Second World War. Smuts served as Prime Minister of South Africa from 1919 until 1924. In 1919, Smuts attended the Paris Peace Conference that formally ended the First World War. He favoured reconciliation with Germany and limited reparations. He returned to government as Deputy Prime Minster in 1933 and was re-appointed Prime Minster in September 1939. This came on the back of JBM Hertzogs resignation over the question of South African neutrality in the Second World War. On the renewal of global conflict, he again joined the Imperial War Cabinet. Such was his influence at this time that a plan was hatched for Smuts to take over as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, should anything happen to Winston Churchill. He was appointed a British field marshal (the highest rank in the British army) in May 1941 and signed the peace settlement that eventually ended the fighting. This makes Smuts the only individual to have signed the peace treaties after both World Wars.
