Condition: New. 2 Text Volumes with 672 pages in total + 17 Colour maps in map volume A Naval & Military Press publicationPublished Price £45 The conflict broke out in 1899 after the failure of the Bloemfontein Conference when Boer irregulars and militia attacked colonial settlements in nearby British colonies. Starting in October 1899, the Boers placed Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking under siege, and won a string of victories at Colenso, Magersfontein and Stormberg. In response to these developments, increased numbers of British Army soldiers were brought to Southern Africa and mounted largely unsuccessful attacks against the Boers. However, British military fortunes changed when their commanding officer, General Redvers Buller, was replaced by Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener, who relieved the three besieged cities and invaded the two Boer Republics in early 1900 at the head of a 180,000-strong expeditionary force. The Boers, aware they were unable to resist such a large force, chose to refrain from fighting pitched battles, allowing the British to occupy both republics and their capitals, Pretoria and Bloemfontein.When the Boer War started, the Foreign Office granted permission for military attachà s from each âfriendly powerâ to act as an observer in South Africa. They were instructed to wear British khaki uniforms bearing their national insignia and rank badges; all were later awarded the Queen's South Africa Medal. The history was prepared in the historical section of the great General Staff, Berlin and translated by Colonel Hubert Du Cane (military attachà at Sofia).
