Extracted from the preface: The following diary of two years' service at the front in South Africa, ended in the lamented death of its writer, was penned by Lieutenant Bertie Moeller for his parents' perusal alone - jotted down in the midst of warfare, often in the saddle or on the veldt, without the benefit of hindsight - and is only now published in response to the solicitations of friends and comrades.
