When the Boer Republics invaded Natal on the north-east coast of what is now South Africa in 1899, they could have been driven out with nominal casualties. Instead Britain was to lose nearly 9,000 men killed in action, more than 13,000 to disease and a further 75,000 wounded and sick invalided back to Britain. This book uses diaries, letters and other primary source material to chronicle the experiences of the people of Natal as soldiers and civilians, black and white, men, women and children at Ladysmith and in the other battles of the Natal Campaign.
