1st Battlaion Devonshire Regiment During the Boer War 1899-1902 by Col. M Jackson.
A strong, solid account of the doings of a battalion of a West Country regiment in the Boer War. The Devonshires took a leading role in the relief of Ladysmith after a lengthy siege by the Boers. They subsequently fought at Inagane and Lydenburg in Natal and South-eastern Transvaal. Their battle honours included the charge at Wagon Hill outside Ladysmith, and the night action at Elandslaagte. In his introduction, Gen. William Kitchener calls attention to the main qualities of the Devon men who served under him: their dogged devotion to duty which helped overcome the Boers stubborn resistance; their improvisation and their smart turnout in the worst of conditions. In conclusion writes Kitchener, a more determined crew I never wish to see, and a better regiment to back his orders a General can never hope to have.

When Britain went to war against the Boers in October 1899, the British public expected the fighting to be over by Christmas. As it turned out, the Boer War, in Kiplings famous phrase, gave the British no end of a lesson. Using accounts of the soldiers who fought in this bitter and bloody clash of arms and remarkable contemporary photographs, this programme tells the story of Britains last great Imperial war.
The story of Britain at her Imperial zenith. During the long reign of Queen Victoria, Britains armies marched to the farthest reaches of the globe in order to win an empire for their queen and country. Africa was a vital source of trade and materials for the rapidly expanding industrial Britain and so the famous redcoat armies fought through the endless jungles, swamps and deserts of the vast continent. Through these harsh conditions, soldiers campaigned on expeditions from the Asanti and Zulu Wars to the Boer War. This DVD uses accurate feature film footage and original dramatised reconstructions and re-enactments to tell the story of Britain at the height of her imperial ambitions. This highly atmospheric programme also features state of the art computer mapping techniques and delightful surviving period imagery. Narrated by Brian Blessed. Featuring expert comment and analysis by Dr David Chandler, the worlds foremost military historian and former Head of War Studies at Sandhurst.
