Author - Rayne Kruger
Publisher - Pan Books; 1977, second printing.
A fair condition paperback book.
The title of the book from a song that bade farewell to an era, Rayne Kruger brilliantly describes the background, the arms and armies, the campaigns and personalities of the war in which soldiers from the British Empire marched to a succession of defeats at the hands of sharpshooting farmers. These were calamitous blows, stuck not only at an immense British Army but - as the old century passed into the new - at Victorian prestige, assumptions and complacency.
