The Anglo-Boer War at the Battles of Talana, Elandslaagte and Ladysmith following General Sir Redvers Buller. Darrell Hall, a renowned historian examines the battle of Colenso, which left scores of British dead, destroyed military careers and left the british army savouring the bitter taste of defeat. It is also the story of General Louis Botha and his Boer commandoes. The focus is on three batteries of the 4th Brigade Division, Royal Field Artillery (7, 14 and 66) and six Long 12's of the Royal Navy.
