Excerpt: ... chapter xliii reform of the war office In the foregoing pages I have endeavoured to show what extraordinary difficulties the non-combatant departments of the army have had to encounter in the discharge of their duties during this great Anglo-Boer war. I presume it will appear clear to the minds of the majority of the readers, even from my inadequate accounts, that herculean efforts were made by the staff officers, and those employed under them, of the various departments to meet the requirements such a large military force has occasioned, and that the chief impression will be that the army has been more remarkable for its insufficiency than its inefficiency to perform the task set before it. At first all the War Office arrangements and calculations were made on the basis of an army corps of about 35,000 men; and to hastily raise, train, equip, transport, and keep mobile the huge army of 250,000 men that have been landed from all parts of the empire on the shores of South Africa, strained the organisation of every office to almost breaking point. But to counteract this inadequate preparation, unfailing loyalty and heroic devotion to duty on the part of one and all has made it possible, without any serious breakdown in any of the several branches connected with supplies and transport. Colonel Sir Howard Vincent says: --There are some people who blame the Government for insufficient preparation for a war they wanted to avoid, they hoped to avoid. These are the very persons who said at the end of last September they could see no reason for military preparations. Now they say we should have punctuated despatches with army corps. It is indeed marvellous that we have sent 220,000 troops, and all their arms, ammunition, and stores in British..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Staff Work of the Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1901: Embodying Some of the War Letters Sent to the 'Morning Post' From South Africa To My Readers, I feel that it is a little presumptuous of me to offer the public a volume on the "Staff Work of the War," and I am all too conscious of its shortcomings. But if my friends and critics come to the conclusion that in spite of its defects, it serves a useful purpose in setting forth the work done by the non-combatant branches of the army, then I shall feel my efforts will not have been quite in vain. I was induced to take up public writing in connection with the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1901, for the Morning Post, by a mis-statement that appeared in the Cape Times as to my duties whilst nursing sick prisoners of war on board the Manila in Simons Bay. My letter to the Editor correcting this error led me to give a short description of the medical work then being done amongst the prisoners, both in the transports and in the hospitals. At that time there were many deaths amongst them from enteric fever, and a feeling of uneasiness was abroad that all was not being done by the authorities for their relief and to combat the disease. My testimony had a decidedly reassuring effect on public opinion, as is proved by many letters that I received from both English and Dutch in the Colony. Since the last Soudan campaign my journalistic propensities had found no outlet, neither had I sought one in South Africa.

Book Synopsis The Boer War by : Fred R. van Hartesveldt
Download or read book The Boer War written by Fred R. van Hartesveldt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-05-30 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred years after the Boer War, the British continue to debate what went wrong, while the war has significant nationalist overtones in today's South Africa. This book examines changes in interpretations of the war and provides a bibliography of major sources on the Boer War, now sometimes called the South African War. The bibliography focuses on the military history, but also includes some historical accounts of the political debate. The first part of the book provides an extended historiographical essay, while part two provides an annotated bibliography of the titles discussed in part one. Historiographical questions concerning the Boer War are numerous. Discussions of military operations focus on the early use of modern weaponry and the effect of guerrilla tactics on a traditional force, while other historians debate the question of British military leadership and organization. Questions also revolve around British imperialism and the scramble for Africa. Frequently called the second war for freedom by South African authors, the war was the reason that South Africa, unlike other British colonies, gained independence without majority rule. This makes the war of continuing relevance to the turmoil in South Africa, the collapse of the minority government, and the continuing problems of the current government. This book will provide a useful tool for those wishing to research the war.
Book Synopsis The Provisions of War by : Justin Nordstrom
Download or read book The Provisions of War written by Justin Nordstrom and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Provisions of War examines how soldiers, civilians, communities, and institutions have used food and its absence as both a destructive weapon and a unifying force in establishing governmental control and cultural cohesion during times of conflict. Historians as well as scholars of literature, regional studies, and religious studies problematize traditional geographic boundaries and periodization in this essay collection, analyzing various conflicts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries through a foodways lens to reveal new insights about the parameters of armed interactions. The subjects covered are as varied and inclusive as the perspectives offered—ranging from topics like military logistics and animal disease in colonial Africa, Indian vegetarian identity, and food in the counterinsurgency of the Malayan Emergency, to investigations of hunger in Egypt after World War I and American soldiers’ role in the making of US–Mexico borderlands. Taken together, the essays here demonstrate the role of food in shaping prewar political debates and postwar realities, revealing how dietary adjustments brought on by military campaigns reshape national and individual foodways and identities long after the cessation of hostilities

Download or read book Angels of Mercy written by Chris Schoeman and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the outbreak of the Anglo-Boer War, hundreds of women left their countries for South Africa, some in search of adventure, others with a strong desire to help the victims of war. They came from all over the world – from Britain and its colonies, and from pro-Boer countries in Europe. But, whatever their origins, they all came to live and work under harsh conditions in a world that was foreign to them. Angels of Mercy tells the story of twelve of these brave women. Hailing from England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, some worked as nurses on the frontline, while others came to teach Boer children in the concentration camps. Based on personal diaries and letters and other wartime sources, this fascinating and inspiring book tells of their trials and tribulations as they dealt with the dangers of war, the extremes of the environment, and the sad eyes of the dying men under their care. Theirs are stories of compassion and courage.
