Mendelssohn (Sidney) South African Bibliography volume 1 page 115 :There is some account of the engagements of Belmont, Graspan, and Magersfontein, with some notes on the medical treatment in the field. Referring to the abuse of the white flag by some of the Boers, the writer remarks that " it is utterly unfair to represent the whole of the Boer army as composed of these scoundrels," and observes that " a white flag, which is sometimes merely a handkerchief tied to a rifle, may, in a comparatively undisciplined force like that of our opponents, be easily raised by a combatant on one side of a kopje, without being ordered or being noticed by his officer or the bulk of his comrades."
