South Africa and the Transvaal War, Vol. 5 (of 8) / From the Disaster at Koorn Spruit to Lord Roberts's Entry into Pretoria

This volume recounts military operations and engagements during the campaign leading to the occupation of the Transvaal capital, beginning with a detailed account of a costly rearguard action at Koornspruit and subsequent mishaps and prisoner escapes. It narrates sieges such as Mafeking and Wepener, relief efforts, and coordinated advances from Bloemfontein through Brandfort, the Vet, and the Zand River toward Kroonstad, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. Battles and marches — including Biddulph's Berg, Doornkop, and actions on the western frontier — are described alongside staff arrangements, losses, and the political interlude at Pretoria, with maps, illustrations, and appendices summarizing casualties and command changes.
