Boer War book re 1900 (apologies if this isnt your idea of 20th Century)
Posted: 03 Aug 2018, 17:25
OK I saw this ad in Newsletter of the Victorian Military Society so you may not see it as 20th century but its a publication of diary of a reservist called back in 1900 to serve in Boer War so it may interest some of you.
The blurb says:
"The Society is delighted to present our latest publication. We have been given access to a the
previously unpublished diary of a recalled reservist serving in from the Anglo Boer War, a daily
record of impressions of the news and events from the perspective of an ordinary soldier in the
year 1900. "The Boer War Diary of Private Charles Holmes: 2nd Northamptonshire Regiment".
Copes are £5.00 plus £1.50 p&p for the UK. Overseas postage rates on application. If you are
interested in buying a copy, you can do so via the Society’s web site"
Their website is https://www.victorianmilitary.org/
although so far I cant find a link there! And I am a (recent) member!?
