Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Regiments in South Africa, 1899-1902 The Scottish Horse, practically a portion of the second lot, is a brilliant example of what could be done by training and a careful selection of oficers. They got good opportunities, they paid the price for their glory ungrudgingly, and it is beyond doubt that many other battalions of the Imperial Yeomanry would have willingly done the same. Lord Kitchener's reference to the Met company (one of the 23rd Battalion, Sharp shooters, also of the second lot which sacrificed itself almost to a man for Damant'e guns, should always be proudly remembered by Englishmen, especially by those who are interested in the problem Can a civil ian rapidly become a useful soldier The reference answers the question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 2: Compiled by Direction of His of Majesty's Government In sending round these proofs for comment, I am anxious to appeal to all who can throw light upon any points within their knowledge to do so. Now that the first volume has been published, it must, I think, be clear to all that our only object has been to state the true facts as far as we are able to get at them. This seems to have been generally recognised but our success entirely depends on our obtaining all the criticism and evidence we can. The first drafts of the first volume were very different from the text as published; but, though this was due to the evidence we subsequently obtained from those to whom they were sent, yet in many instances the corrections were furnished with ex pressions of great indignation that the account was not in accord ance with facts known to the writer, but not previously supplied to us. We cannot make bricks without straw; and though the mass of material to be dealt with is very great, it often fails us at important points. It is to fill in these deficiencies that we submit the story as we have it, to those who can give us better evidence. On one point a fiction has gone abroad which may much interfere with this. It has been freely stated that the volume was much 'sub-edited' in the interest of Departments concerned. There is not one word of truth in this. We have held no brief for anyone and no Department or Office has asked us to modify one word in their own interest. The only subject on which any Office asked for change was that mentioned on page 1, Volume I., viz., any phrase that might affect our relations with our Boer fellow-subjects. Otherwise the narrative has been written exactly as we should have written it if we had been pub lishing a volume on our own account, except that under no other circumstances whatever could we have had complete evidence as to the truth.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... THE ROYAL SCOTS (LOTHIAN REGIMENT). The 1st Battalion Royal Scots sailed as corps troops, and when Sir William F. Gatacre's division was taken to Natal, the Royal Scots, along with the 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers, 2nd Royal Irish Rifles, and part of the Berkshire Regiment, were put under his command in the Queenstown district. General Gatacre was never strong enough to do anything effective, and his attempt at Stormberg (see 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers) ended in one of the most severe defeats received by the British during the war. The Royal Scots were not actually engaged that day. Part of the battalion held the detraining-point at Molteno Station, and it has been suggested that they should have been allowed to go out to the assistance of their sorely-pressed comrades in their retreat. It is to the credit of the Royal Scots that they did ask leave to go out.1 At Cyphergat on 3rd January, and subsequently at various times in the Molteno-Dordrecht district, the Royal Scots saw some fighting, and thus got invaluable 1 Major Pollock, 'With Seven Generals in the Boer War, ' Skeffington, 1900, p. 63. Major Pollock gives an admirable account of Stormberg and of all the other work in that district during December 1899 and January following. training for heavier work. After the occupation of Bloemfontein the Illrd Division had another mishap at Reddersburg, when 500 of the Royal Irish Rifles were cut off and surrendered after a stand which cannot be characterised as heroic. The general had then to demit his office, and the division, such as it was, passed to General Chermside. When Wepener was besieged the garrison included the Mounted Infantry company of the Royal Scots, which had been doing good work under General Brabant; and among the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the War in South Africa, Vol. 1: 1899-1902 The decision of His Majesty's late Government, mentioned on the first page of this history, was not finally given till November, 1905. It was, therefore, not till December 12th, 1905, that I was able to obtain approval for the form in which the political facts connected with the war are mentioned in the first chapter. Since then the whole volume has necessarily been recast, and it was not possible to go to page proof till the first chapter had been approved. Hence the delay in the appearance of the volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War in Practice: Some Tactical and Other Lessons of the Campaign in South Africa, 1899-1902 Some of the statements here made may not meet with universal acceptance. Opinions are bound to differ when such a subject is treated of. But the drawing-out of criticism is most neces sary in properly elucidating the teachings of the war; and the bringing forward of suggestions to thinking men is, after all, the essence of military education, where so few hard-and-fast laws can apply.
