A firsthand account of life in Johannesburg during the Anglo-Boer War.
Isabelle Lipps diary captures eight months of tension, resilience, and quiet defiance as she and her husband remain in Johannesburg while British subjects are ordered to leave. From the top floor of the African Banking Corporation, she documents daily life under siege the fear, the hope, and the small acts of courage that defined a city on the brink. Originally handwritten, later typed in 1928, and finally published by the Parktown & Westcliff Heritage Trust, this is a rare glimpse into civilian endurance during wartime.
