I went through some of my Boer War references and scanned (and OCR'd) applicable passages regarding most of the Boer War battles that Mr Harris was intesrested in. Since I am RCR, most of my works focus on the first contingent and I have not captured anything on Leliefontein. (I have also not included anything on Paarderburg.)

Keep in mind that most of these works were written by friends or members of the Contingent(s). "Clearly the military historian needs to beware in reading the regimental reports where the reputations of officers as well as their men are involved." - Geoffrey Regan, Fight or Flight, 1996.

To make the passages accessible to a wider audience, I have posted the Battles document on my web page at:

It can be downloaded in Microsoft Word or HTML formats.

Mr Harris, good luck with your research, I would be interested in receiving a finished version when you are done.

Pro Patria

Mike
