"Wars always generate stories and everybody loves a story. Rob Milne has compiled this selection of Anglo-Boer War stories from all over South Africa and recounts them in a book that saddens, mystifies, but most of all entertains. There's the devotion of the English fiance who for 60 years sent a sprig of heather to the Chrissiesmeer Post Office for her beloved's grave. There's the tale of the lone Boer sniper who held off the entire Guards Brigade for more than a day after the Battle of Bergendal. There's the story of the soldier who, caught illegally bayoneting a sheep, looked severely at the prostrate beast and remarked: 'I'll teach you to try to bite a British soldier!' Read about Sergeant Woodward's two graves in Heidelberg, and the ghosts of the British soldiers that still haunt the Elands River Valley . A unique and delightfully refreshing read."
