London: Wymon and Sons for the Royal Commission On The War In South Africa, 1903. First Edition.

The Royal Commission on the War in South Africa, appointed in 1902, published "Minutes of evidence taken before the Royal Commission on the War in South Africa" in 1903, printed by Wyman and Sons. This document contains the transcribed testimonies of various individuals who provided evidence related to the Second Boer War, which took place between 1899 and 1902. 

The "Minutes of evidence" are a valuable historical resource for understanding the Second Boer War, as they offer firsthand accounts of the experiences and perspectives of those involved. The commission's report and its appendices, also printed by Wyman and Sons, provide further context and analysis of the war. 


Specifically, the "Minutes of evidence" include:


Testimonies: Transcripts of oral evidence given by various witnesses, including military personnel, civilians, and experts. 
Exhibits: Documents and other materials submitted as evidence to the commission. 
Indexes: Arranged by witnesses and subjects, facilitating access to specific information. 
These records, along with the commission's report, offer insights into the conduct of the war, the challenges faced by the British forces, and the impact of the conflict on South Africa.
