Ravan Press : Johannesburg, (2000). ISBN:0869755315. First Edition. Near Fine/No Jacket (As Issued). Pictorial Wrappers. Pocket Book. Soft Cover. 94 pp. Illustrated with maps & black & white illustrations.
"Die Verloop van die Anglo-Boereoorlog in 'n Neutedop is 'n bondige oorsig van die gebeure van eenhonderd jaar gelede. Die doel daarvan is om die omvang van die oorlog, en die invloed wat dit op die hele Suid-Afrika gehad het, by plaaslike inwoners en besoekers tuis te bring. Die Britte se strategie om die Boere se hardnekkige teenstand te verbreek (blokhuise, dryfaksies, verskroiede-aarde, konsentrasiekampe) word bekyk. Dit gee agtergrond oor die deelnemende partye, die oorsaak van die stryd, en die gebeure wat tot die ondertekening van 'Vrede' in Pretoria gelei het.". € 8.00

Smith, Iain R. (Academic Editor). THE SIEGE OF MAFEKING (Two volumes).
The Brenthurst Press : Johannesburg (2001). First Editions. As New/As New dust-jackets. Quarto. Beige Toile ElysŽes Cloth. Volume One : xxiii + 239. Volume Two : xiii + 290 pp. Top edges gilt. Illustrated End-papers. Ribbon Markers in each volume. LIMITED TO 850 COPIES ONLY. The following is taken from the Brenthurst website : "When the opening shots of the South African War reverberated across the world on 12 October 1899, the small dusty border town of Mafeking with the adjacent Barolong settlement, was garrisoned and plunged into the privations, dangers and destruction of a seven-month-long siege. It became one of the most famous episodes of the war, and the fate of the town assumed a symbolic importance for Britain and the Empire. This reappraisal was inspired initially by one of the most comprehensive single archives on the Siege of Mafeking, that of Lt.-Col. Courtenay Vyvyan, who served as Baden-Powell's second-in-command and variously as Base Commandant, Town Commandant and Commanding Engineer during the Siege. Afterwards he took over command in Mafeking and continued to serve in the western Transvaal." € 200.00

Galago Publishing : Johannesburg. (1986). ISBN:0947020225. Facsimile Reprint. Near Fine/Near Fine. Green Boards. Royal Octavo. Hard Cover.
(i) + xii + 274 pp. frontispiece, line illustrations in the text, + plates.
"On 11 October 1899, the Transvaal and Orange Free State Boer Republics went to war with Britain. The British expected quick victory, certainly not expecting volunteer Boer farmers, self equipped and in the European sense untrained for war, to put up much of a fight against the might of an army that had not suffered a serious reverse since it had beaten Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815.;Yet two weeks later, after five distinct actions, the British score was one vague win, two indecisive actions, one a definite loss and the other a total disaster. In addition 12,000 British troops were locked up in Ladysmith by besieging Boer commandos. On 12 November 1899, General Lord Methuen assembled a fighting column of 8,000 troops at the Orange River to relieve Kimberley. The author, a company commander of a mounted infantry unit, like the rest of the relieving troops travelled light, something they had learned from the highly mobile Boers. It took the column until 15 February 1900 to reach Kimberley and relieve it. After Kimberley the author took part in the occupation of Bloemfontein and finally the occupation of Pretoria. Capt. St Leger was a keen observer and his written anecdotes of the actions he took part in make fascinating reading. More importantly, his artistic talent which he put to good use during the march, resulted in the pictures that make this book a true classic of the Boer War". This work was originally published in 1903 as "War sketches in colour" by A & C Black. € 13.00
