With the Guards' Brigade from Bloemfontein to Koomati Poort and Back

A chaplain's first-person account of marching with a Guards brigade during the Boer War, beginning with the occupation of Bloemfontein and continuing through campaigns in the Transvaal. It combines battlefield and garrison episodes with intimate sketches of daily soldier life — privations, hospital wards, funerals, and religious services — and reflections on pastoral duties under fire. The narrative describes skirmishes, supply and transport difficulties, encounters with civilians and enemy forces, and the disruption of mining districts, while recording acts of endurance, mercy, and moral ambiguity. Scattered vignettes of regimental character, nursing work, and campaign logistics illuminate the human cost and practical realities of active service.
