Summary: "From Aldershot to Pretoria: A Story of Christian Work among our Troops in South Africa" by W.E. Sellers is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This book focuses on the efforts of Christian chaplains and lay workers who provided spiritual support and care to British soldiers during the South African War. It highlights the transformation in societal attitudes toward soldiers, emphasizing their spiritual needs and the vital role of religious work amidst the harsh realities of warfare. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the awakening of national consciousness regarding the care and moral duty owed to soldiers, drawing parallels with past conflicts like the Crimean War. The opening chapters describe the bustling environment of the Aldershot camp as troops mobilize for war, the challenges they face with inadequate facilities, and the dedicated Christian efforts to provide a supportive community. Key figures such as Rev. E.P. Lowry are introduced, showcasing their commitment to fostering a sense of spiritual camaraderie among the men.
