From Aldershot to Pretoria

A devotional and documentary account of Christian ministry among soldiers during the South African campaign, tracing pastoral work from training camps and embarkation to battlefields, sieges, and hospitals. It describes chaplains and lay agents offering services, tracts, hymns, nursing, and comfort amid combat, records encounters that led to conversions and consolations in death, and gathers anecdotes that illustrate morale and faith under fire. Chapters and illustrations move chronologically through departures, major engagements, field ambulances, and garrison life to the final campaigns around Pretoria.
