Having read only the first 60 pages on line, I find it to be an exceptionally well written and thoroughly absorbing account of an english soldier, a volunteer driver with the cavalry, leaving England and journeying to the South African interior to fight. Written in a diary style, with descriptive gems, it offers an entertaining protrayal of his life on board the troopship "Montfort" and in a foreign country at the turn of the 20th Century.
