About This Book
The volume continues a chronological military narrative beginning with the occupation of Pretoria and proceeds through operations that secured the Transvaal, describing major battles and maneuvers such as those at Diamond Hill, Laing’s Nek and Lydenburg and the events that led to the flight of the Boer leader. It then condenses the transition to widespread guerrilla warfare and the subsequent pursuit and protection of communications up to March 1901. Substantial appendix material includes maps and illustrations, a gazetteer, a biographical register of notable participants, a list of Victoria Cross recipients, a lexicon of campaign terms, casualty lists, and a chronological table.
