The Story of the Imperial Light Horse in the South African War 1899-1902 by George Fleming Gibson. Lieutenant and Intelligence Officer of the 1st I.L.H.

South African Press Opinions- " It is one of those war books which written considerable distance from the events chronicled, give a calm and detached view.

"Written in well balanced perspective with proper regard for the part played by both the men who fought with the I.L.H. and those who fought against it.

"Captain Gibson has gone to enormous trouble not merely in collecting his material but in having his details verified by others.

"What makes his work so attractive and thrilling to the general public is the human touch with which he has been able to supplement the bare facts,"

Original yellow dustcover, over dark green boards with gilt lettering to spine.Tape residue to ends.Owners neat stamp to front endpaper.Full colour Frontispiece plus 27 chapters with illustrations and maps- 351 pages plus 10 pp index.Very clean copy.
