Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ballads of the War
This book, whose Second Edition is now issued, enlarged and illustrated with portraits, aims at nothing more than being a record in simple verse, of some of the golden deeds and pathetic incidents of the South African War. The Poems have been arranged, as far as pos sible, in chronological order; the volume therefore becomes a kind of diary, not only of the battles fought, but also of the state of feeling here in Great Britain at various crises in the campaign.
