The opening of the book introduces the author’s motivations and objectives for writing this handbook, emphasizing his personal experience of serving in the Boer War for twenty-six months. The initial chapters explore themes of historical parallels, such as comparing the Boers to the Roundheads during the English Civil War, and discuss the nature of patriotism, duty, and discipline within military frameworks.
