Boyden, Peter `Ashes and Blood` - The British Army In South Africa 1795-1914 4to The NAM`s Collections of Boer War material are probably the most extensive in the United Kingdom, if not the world, and as the museum of the British Army it is a natural setting for such a display. The editors have been concerned to place the events of October 1899 to May 1902 into a wider context, and extend the scope of the Special Exhibition from the first British occupation of the Cape in 1795 to the departure of the Imperial garrison in 1914 to participate in the First World War. This has provided an opportunity to display, in many cases for the first time, a selection from the Museum`s Study Collections relating to the pre-1899 history of the British Army in southern Africa, while also exploring some of the effects of the Boer War in the dozen years until the outbreak of the First World War; 528pp., including an outline chronology of The British Army in South Africa 1795-1914, a list of contributors, and index. Profusely illustrated and with never-before-seen photographs, documents, personal accounts of the war, as well as medals, memorabilia and other artefacts. Condition: softcover in excellent condition, perfectly clean with only a craese along the spine and very light edge wear. near London National Army Museum 1999 Click here to view further details and to bid

Prior to the first British occupation of the Cape in 1795 printing at the Cape had been prevented by the Dutch East India Company which employed clerks to copy official documents. On 21st July 1800 Sir George Yonge granted Messrs. Walker & Robertson permission to set up a printing press to be known as the Government Printing Office, No.35 Plein Street, and this was followed by the notice to publish the Cape Town Gazette.

Generaal Manie Maritz My lewe en strewe Though indicated on the dust jacket that the publication date is 1938, this book was only published and released early 1939. A very neat copy in the original light red boards and dust jacket. Name of previous owner in front as well on dust jacket. 263 pages. 27 Chapters wherein he describes his life before, during and after the Anglo-Boer War, as well as his flight through Africa to Europe after the Rebellion of 1914. Salomon Gerhardus (Manie) Maritz (1876 - 1940), `Boer general and rebel leader of 1914, was a descendant of the Voortrekker leader Gerrit Maritz … Maritz became an admirer of Nazism. He joined the Greyshirt movement in the Union, but resigned in 1934 to form the South African National Democratic movement. He was farming in South-West Africa at the time, but paid frequent visits to the Union to make speeches attacking the Jews and Freemasonry. In August 1939 he was charged in the high court, Windhoek, with engendering racial hostility in South-West Africa by the distribution of his book, My lewe en strewe (Pretoria, 1939). On 34 August he was found guilty, the presiding judge stating that the book had been `… written with the deliberate object of encouraging bad feelings towards the Jewish race`. … Maritz was short, stocky, broad-shouldered and dark-complexioned. In his prime he was endowed with exceptional physical strength about which many striking anecdotes were recorded by his contemporaries. His courage, energy and ruthlessness made him a formidable opponent in the field. In civilian life his impetuosity, restlessness and lack of business acumen precipitated a series of financial setbacks. He undoubtedly had a personal magnetism, but his arrogance, violent temper and pathological racial prejudices made him many enemies and often alienated his friends.` (Dictionary of South African Biography, Vol. I., pp. 513-515) Very good Click here to view further details and to bid
