Notes: |
This is a part of our history that few are conversant with. Sylvia Boxshall manages to not only explain complicated manoeuvres by the combatants but to bring to life the story of the eleven young men connected to the Newham and Woodend district who volunteered to serve in South Africa alongside the British. Contents include: Henry Brooks, Claude Tasman Earnshaw, William John Earnest Harper, John Martin, John Nelson Muntz, Benjamin Rees, Charles Rees, Edward John Sims, George William Stratton, George Farquaharson Thorburn, Douglas Edwin Wallace.
