In 1899 Ludwig(Lodi) Krause left legal practice in a district town of President Kruger's South African Republic(Transvaal) to fight for the freedom of his people against apparent British imperialist aggression.At first he was an ordinary burgher on the battlefields of Natal,but later became an officer in the guerilla war waged in the Northern Transvaal. The memoirs of Krause are remarkable for their clarity and descriptive power.He compiled them soon after his capture in December 1900 and their value is enchanced by his outspoken sometimes pungent opinions,not only of his British foes,but of some of Kruger's adherents who lacked competence and fibre.
