The Revenge of the 'Bitter Enders'
Travel with us to South Africa, 1901, where the Boer war continues as the British try to kill or capture the Boer mounted commandos who refuse to surrender to their rule – the ‘Bitter Enders’. British troopers approach a quiet Boer farmstead - their officer has been shot dead by a Boer sniper and they’re hunting the perpetrator. But an ambush awaits them…
British troopers will be searching for Boer mounted commandos

Reminds me of a great book, called "Commando: A Boer Journal Of The Boer War" by Deneys Reitz - a Boer who fought against the British on Africa. He went to fight for the British in WW1. It's a great read and well worth reading if you can find a copy.

Cordially,

And to go with your Pith Helmet and your visit to Kelmarsh, Pith Helmet Provisions. Some interesting items, especially the Martini case. Only the essentials.
And at the end of the day you can pot up your feet here.
