War Diary ~ Isabelle Lipp

Medium soft cover
218 pages
Condition AS NEW

At the time of the declaration of war Isabelle and her husband. Charles, were in Johannesburg. He was manager of the Johannesburg branch of the African Banking Corporation and a British subject. All British subjects were required to leave the Zuid Afrikaansche (Transvaal) Republiek, but he and his wife were granted permits to remain in Johannesburg. Clearly it was the intention of the Government to allow banks to continue to operate, so their key personnel had to remain. They moved from their home in the suburbs and occupied rooms on the top floor of the Bank's premises. Mrs Lipp was determined to remain and support her husband, but they sent their children to the coast with relatives.

The Diary was kept for the period immediately before the granting of the Ultimatum by the British Government until the occupation of the British troops under Lord Roberts on 31 May 1900 - a period of just under eight months.
