Boer General Lukas Meyer was a member of the ZAR Volksraad and at times was sympathetic to the case of the Uitlanders.
He fought in the first action of the South African War at Talana, but due to ill health was withdrawn from active service after the Battles in the Tugela.
He then served in the ZAR Government and attended the conference between the two Boer governments in April 1902 to prepare for the peace negotiations. He signed the peace treaty in his role as a member of the Executive Council of the Transvaal / ZAR.
He died on 8 August 1902 in Belgium and was later interred at Vryheid.
