About the Author:
Rob Milne was born in Johannesburg in 1953 and educated at St. David's Marist College and the University of the Witwatersrand. From an early age he spent most of his free time in the veld exploring the South African battlefields with his father, developing a keen interest in the Second Anglo-Boer War, archaeology and geology. He served in the South African Air Force in 1972 and saw active service in South West Africa and Angola, which further stimulated his passion for military history. In over 50 years of tramping the battlefields, skirmish sites and cemeteries of the Anglo-Boer War, Rob has developed an insight into what really happened over 110 years ago. His wanderings have led him to some amazing archaeological discoveries in the field of ancient rock engravings; his 18 years of research on the subject, with international collaboration, will be published in the near future. Rob is the chief financial officer for a large group of companies in the timber industry and lives in Johannesburg.

Book Description 219 x 150 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. (xiv) + 168, incl index, plus publisher's catalogue; photographs. Earlier owner's name signed on half-title and lower cover. Very good condition. "Wars always generate stories and everybody loves a story. Rob Milne has compiled this selection of Anglo-Boer War stories from all over South Africa and recounts them in a book that saddens, mystifies, but most of all entertains. There's the devotion of the English fiancée who for 60 years sent a sprig of heather to the Chrissiesmeer Post Office for her beloved's grave. There's the tale of the lone Boer sniper who held off the entire Guards Brigade for more than a day after the Battle of Bergendal. There's the story of the soldier who, caught illegally bayoneting a sheep, looked severely at the prostrate beast and remarked: 'I'll teach you to try to bite a British soldier!' Read about Sergeant Woodward's two graves in Heidelberg, and the ghosts of the British soldiers that still haunt the Elands River Valley . A unique and delightfully refreshing read.".
