1st Battlaion Devonshire Regiment During the Boer War 1899-1902 by Col. M Jackson.- Cranston Fine Arts Historical Art
1st Battlaion Devonshire Regiment During the Boer War 1899-1902 by Col. M Jackson.
A strong, solid account of the doings of a battalion of a West Country regiment in the Boer War. The Devonshires took a leading role in the relief of Ladysmith after a lengthy siege by the Boers. They subsequently fought at Inagane and Lydenburg in Natal and South-eastern Transvaal. Their battle honours included the charge at Wagon Hill outside Ladysmith, and the night action at Elandslaagte. In his introduction, Gen. William Kitchener calls attention to the main qualities of the Devon men who served under him: their dogged devotion to duty which helped overcome the Boers stubborn resistance; their improvisation and their smart turnout in the worst of conditions. In conclusion writes Kitchener, a more determined crew I never wish to see, and a better regiment to back his orders a General can never hope to have.
