Mafeking : $b a diary of the siege Produced by Al Haines "Mafeking: A Diary of the Siege" by Major F. D. Baillie is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This diary chronicles the events and experiences of the British garrison during the Siege of Mafeking, a pivotal conflict in the Second Boer War. The book provides a firsthand perspective on military operations, the daily struggles of those under siege, and the complex dynamics between the British and Boer forces. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the siege that began in October 1899, starting with Baillie's initial relief at the onset of war and quickly transitioning to the grim realities of life under continuous attack. Baillie records his experiences with vivid detail, noting military strategies, skirmishes, and the emotional toll on troops and civilians alike. As the siege unfolds, the entries depict both moments of intense conflict and the mundane aspects of military life, highlighting the resilience of the garrison and the complex human emotions involved in warfare.
