Reprint of the original Australian Government 1911 official publication containing an astonishing amount of information on the activities of the contingents from all over Australia during the Boer War with many nominal rolls, plus details of equipment, pay, honours and awards. Australia s contribution to the war, as this volume makes clear in minute detail, was a major one, presaging its massive sacrifice a decade later in the Great War. As its author emphasises, this book is not a history of the war, but a statistical register and reference. As such it will prove invaluable to serious students. It does, however, also include descriptions of actions in which Australian units took part, and will prove absorbing to anyone who wishes to know the reality of Australia s part in the war behind legends such as that of Breaker Morant .

Book Synopsis The Forgotten War by : Laurence Melville Field
Download or read book The Forgotten War written by Laurence Melville Field and published by Carlton South, Vic. : Melbourne University Press ; Forest Grove, Or. : exclusive distributor, ISBS, Incorporated. This book was released on 1979 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:
About three-quarters of a century has passed since the Australians faced Mauser and pom pom fire and suffered the ravages of disease in South Africa. Sadly the story of the Australian contribution in the Boer War is not well known. This is surprising because no less than 16,175 enlisted men embarked to fight in South Africa. It was the first significant force to leave Australia. There were also many who either worked or paid a passage to the front. The South African regiments raised in Natal and Cape Colony all contained them. Many Australian refugees from Paul Kruger's Republic also served in the colonial regiments. Altogether the number of fighting Australians must have been 20,000 or more. In fact Australians seem to have taken part in almost every major engagement, for some fought with British regular units. From the manner in which Australians bore themselves in a highly mobile campaign, in a country similar to their own, they earned a reputation second to none as mounted infantry and scouts. After such a lapse of time, any worthwhile account of their record in the campaign over the best part of three years would hardly be possible but for the preservation in the newspapers of the day of soldiers' letters from the front. The exploits and comments told in the words of the men who were there, on veldt and kopje, fitted into the story of a moving campaign, form the basis of this history.

Book Synopsis The War with Johnny Boer by : Max Chamberlain
Download or read book The War with Johnny Boer written by Max Chamberlain and published by . This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:
The South African and Vietnam Wars provoked dramatically different reactions in Australians, from pro-British jingoism on the eve of Federation, to the anti-war protest movements of the 1960s. In contrast, the letters and diaries of Australian soldiers written while on the South African and Vietnam battlefields reveal that their reactions to the war they were fighting were surprisingly unlike those on the home fronts from which they came. Australian Soldiers in South Africa and Vietnam follows these combat men from enlistment to the war front and analyses their words alongside theories of soldiering to demonstrate the transformation of soldiers as a response to developments in military procedure, as well as changing civilian opinion. In this way, the book illustrates the strength of a soldier's link to their home front lives.

Excerpt from Australia at the Front: A Colonial View of the Boer War AS to the pages which follow, I do not propose to make any lengthy apology. They are a record in brief of personal impressions and experiences during ten months' association with Australian troops in South Africa. So far as I have been able to judge, during the few weeks spent in England while preparing this volume for the press, the general public not only wants to know what Australia has done for the Empire in this crisis, but is anxious to give her a full measure of credit for it. Through force of circumstances our troops even those hailing from the same colony - were split up into more or less minute fragments, and operated, during the major portion of the campaign, with columns hundreds of miles apart, making it quite impossible for any one man to keep in touch with more than one section at a time.

This book explores an Australian regional community’s reaction to, and involvement with, the Boer War. It argues that after the initial year the war became an ‘occasional war’ in that it was assumed that the empire would triumph. But it also laid the foundations for reactions to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. This is the first exploration of the place of the Boer War in Australian history at the community level. Indeed, even at the national level the literature is limited. It is often forgotten that, despite the claims that Australia became a federation via peaceful means, the colonies and the new nation were, in fact, at war. This study aims to bring back into focus a forgotten part of Australian and imperial history, and argues that the Australian experience of the Boer War was more than the execution of Morant and Hancock.
