314 pages: illustrations, portraits (1 as frontispiece), map. Originally published in 1937.

In this lively account of his youth in Natal, Mossop recalls the events of the Zulu War and the first Boer War with gripping intensity. He describes big-game hunting with a party of Boers on the high veld of the Transvaal, transport wagons, riding with the Frontier Light Horse, Majuba Hill, an escape from Cetawayo’s warriors, etc. He gives graphic details of the Battles of Hlobane and Kambula and the horror of close combat.
