Abstract
Louis Ahrens was bom in Pietermaritzburg, Natal, South Africa, on April 24, 1918, a descendant of Lutheran missionaries. He died in Cape Town on September 5, 1990. During his childhood, he traveled widely across South Africa and Southwest Africa (now Namibia) with his father, who was a district magistrate dealing with African affairs. Louis developed a lifelong love for the African landscape as a result of these early experiences, which included meeting, in 1931, on the 50th anniversary of Isandhlwana and Rorkes Drift, Zulus who had taken part in those battles.
