My Reminiscences Of The Anglo-boer War – Ben Viljoen And P. Van Breda

General Ben Viljoen, a key Boer commander, provides a rare, candid, and often humorous firsthand account of the Anglo-Boer War. This memoir traces the Boer commandos’ shift from early victories in Natal to the punishing two-year campaign of guerrilla warfare across the veld. Viljoen recounts major battles, strategic failures, and his eventual capture and imprisonment on St. Helena, offering an honest and intelligent look at a soldier’s experience of a grim conflict.
