| dc.description.abstract | Peter Henry Bunton was born on the 22nd of March 1922 and grew up on the farm ELIM near ADDO in the Sunday's River Valley in the Eastern Cape. He began his education at the local farm school, riding there every day on horseback. In 1934 he was admitted to St Andrews Preparatory School in Grahamstown, later to St Andrews College. He was an active rugby player at the college, having been a member of the Rugby XV. He matriculated at this college in 1939. His first year in the BVSc course at UCT was interrupted by the outbreak of WORLD WAR II. He resumed his Veterinary studies at Onderstepoort in 1946, graduating with a BVSc in 1949. He returned to his homestead in ELIM Farm in ADDO, building up a Rural Veterinary practice in the area for over 67 years | en_US |
