Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shall I Win Her? The Story of a Wanderer, Vol. 1 of 3
Captain Douglas and his party of High landers were somewhat quaint in aspect too, their uniform not being precisely such as would pass muster at Aldershott or St. James's Park. Their bonnets and plaids, red coats, and other bravery, had been replaced by a costume more suitable to a warfare in the wild bush of the Cape Colony. They still retained their tartan trews, but wore under their pipeclayed cross-belts short blue blouses of canvas, with felt shoes, and pouches of un tanned hide. They had forage-caps with large square leather peaks, and all were weather beaten and service-like fellows.
