Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Arts Under Arms: An University Man in Khaki
IN the pages which follow I have tried to set down in the form of simple narrative the events in course of which, after closing my books as an University student, I came to be engaged in the fire of the Boer war.
This little book contains, I believe, the first published account of the events which led up to, took place at, and followed upon the capture of the Thirteenth Battalion of Imperial Yeomanry by boer-commandant Christiaan de Wet after five days resistance outside the town of Lindley, Orange Free State. It is of course a matter of difficulty to describe occurrences such as those which took place at Lindley in a manner which will satisfy the recollections of all those who took part in them.
