From the preface: In the autumn of 1916 I was asked by the Union Government to undertake the official History of the South African Forces in Europe. At the time I was serving in France and had therefore an opportunity to see something of the Infantry Brigade... My aim has been to tell as simply as possible the story of a great military achievement.
