Description

177 pages. Bibliography. Index. "When war was declared in October 1899, Hilder volunteered for service in South Africa and served two tours of dutyy in 1900 and 1902. His writings are rare accounts of the Canadian action in the war as seen from the perspective of the mounted infantry. No other substantial descriptions of these units have been published, despite the fact that these men made up over 50% of Canadian soldiers recruited to serve in the war." - from dust jacket. Prior owner's ink stamp upon verso of front free endpaper, otherwise clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Appears unread. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. An excellent copy. Book
