'General Botha was a fine soldier, a great South African, and one of the most lovable of men. Colonel Trew, who commanded his bodyguard of mounted police in 1914-1915, and became one of his closest friends, writes of him here with all the affection of healthy hero-worship, for though this is a book of reminiscences, Botha's personality dominates and enriches every page.
The text abounds in amusing anecdotes and incidents, and there are illuminating sidelights on such men as Roberts, Kitchener, Haig, and Smuts.' - editor's note
