Condition
Very Good. Original publisher's red cloth binding with gilt and black lettering. Binding remains firm and sound with general rubbing and bumping to the corners and spine ends consistent with age. Internally clean with light scattered foxing and age toning. Folding map present. Frontispiece present but page is loose. Numerous photographic plates remain clean and well preserved. A sound, complete example of this increasingly scarce Boer War memoir.
