A fact from Australia in the Second Boer War appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 November 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that when the six separate British colonies in Australia federated to become the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, they all had their own armies fighting in the Second Boer War?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/November.

--What does "DFD" stand for? Is that meant to be a commonly understood term? I can't find a definition for it on wiki or anywhere for that matter211.30.122.32 (talk) 03:35, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DFD = 'Died From Disease'. It is a fairly generic reference though, and could refer to diseases, illness, dying from wounds subsequent to an action etc. KIA is 'Killed in action'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.201.206.167 (talk) 08:17, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
