The British Generals – South African War

“The Good, The Bad and The Wobbly ”

A professional British Army pitted against gifted farmers.
The Boers struggle for independence. The British for political supremacy.
Sheer weight of numbers and ruthless tactics secured a British victory.
The last of the gentlemen’s wars? and the first modern day one.
