The Hall Handbook of the Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902

Hall (d. 1996), a South African and former member of the British Army, was an amateur authority on artillery. He carried out research in libraries and private archives in South Africa to write this history of the Boer War in South Africa, produced to coincide with the 100- year anniversary of the outbreak of the war in 1899. Separate chapters consider the history of the war, the transport and munitions used, the decorations and medals awarded, casualties and war cemeteries, the non-British participants, and concentration camps, with photos, watercolors, and numerous tables of statistics provided.
