Softcover Rob Milne
Kaleidoscope of human-interest stories exposing long-kept secrets, mysteries and heroics for the first time. Wars always generate stories and everybody loves a story. Rob Milne has compiled this selection of AngloBoer War stories from all over South Africa and recounts them in a book that saddens, mystifies, but most of all entertains. Theres the devotion of the English fiancée who for 60 years sent a sprig of heather to the Lake Chrissie Post Office for her beloveds grave, the tale of the lone Boer sniper who held off the entire Guards Brigade for more than a day after the battle of Bergendal, the sighting of UFOs near Pretoria at the beginning of the war and the story of how an unfortunate British soldier ended up being buried under a toilet on a railway station
