With the New Zealanders at the front : a story of twelve months campaigning in South Africa

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "The major part of the contents of this volume appeared from week to week, in the form of a Diary of the War, in the columns of an English newspaper. In revising my letters, I have altered the test as little as possible, from a fear lest I should take from it perhaps its only merit, that of being written under extreme difficulties at the front."--preface.
