Excerpt from The Colonials in South Africa, 1899-1902: Their Record, Based on the Despatches When the Author published his Our Regiments in South Africa, 1899 which gave a brief account of the work, in the war, of each regular battalion of infantry, regiment Of cavalry, and battery Of artillery, he remarked in the Preface that Some account of the doings of the Colonials should, and may yet, be put together. Some reviewers, especially those interested in the Colonies, encouraged him to carry out the idea thus hinted at, and the present volume is the result of that encouragement.
