“Within a few weeks of the outbreak of the South African War in October 1899, Boer forces had laid siege to several British colonial towns, among them Ladysmith and Mafeking. The sieges themselves and the relief operations which developed as a result were epics of the day. First-hand accounts are here given by four of the besieged – William Thwaites, Steuart Binny, Alfred Down, and Samuel Cawood. Their texts are illustrated by contemporary sketches and photographs”. -The Brenthurst Press.
