Excerpt from History of the War in South Africa, 1899-1902, Vol. 4 For the assistance of the reader it may be remarked that the work has been so designed that those desirous of following the Operations in any particular province of South Africa may do so by omitting the intervening chapters which deal with other parts. In cases where a number of officers of the same name were in the field, the initials are repeated as often as is necessary to avoid confusion. A mass of technical material for which there was no place in the text has been incorporated in Appendices.
