This volume gathers forgotten fragments, personal diaries, and anomalies unearthed during their lifetime of archival research into the Anglo-Boer War. Highlighted pieces include the jaw-dropping account of a brave young boy who walked nearly 500 miles across hostile territory to locate his father's commando, alongside unedited vignettes involving Winston Churchill, early battlefield X-ray diagnostic units, and the surprising role of baboons serving as sentries on the veld. It offers an indispensable, objective balance of stories from both rebel guerrilla forces and loyalist Cape columns. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; mso-layout-grid-align: auto; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric ideograph-other;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAuthor Profile: Taffy and David Shearing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eTaffy and David Shearing were legendary independent South African historians who spent decades tracking down the graves, diaries, and operational histories of the Cape Rebels.
