With the Eighth Division: A Souvenir of the South African Campaign (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from With the Eighth Division: A Souvenir of the South African Campaign

I have not risked altering the form, or increasing the bulk of the book, which has had the good fortune not to displease those for whom it was written, but have endeavoured to condense, as in a focus, the general work accomplished by the Eighth Division, and to rigidly adhere to giving a plain story of the real occurrences of our campaign life.

From numerous letters received, and Reviews from the Press, it is gratifying to know that the book has been much welcomed and appreciated.

The fact that the First Edition, comprising a thousand copies, has been disposed of in the short space of six weeks, speaks so unequivocally that further remarks are superfluous.
