It certainly is not history and it is grossly misleading. Lord Carver's authoritative work on this subject is clearly something this author had not investigated. Is this man getting the Boers confused with the Selous Scouts or what? I am concerned that Tony's comments above (October 13, 2008) have not prompted this piece to be edited.

History is about perspective and truth. I challenge you to post the necessary refferences that substantiate the below: "Wearing captured British uniforms, Boers of one command rode into a British cavalry post and opened fire, killing or wounding more than 70 troopers. They took supplies and arms and drove off all the horses. After that success, they often wore British uniforms to get close enough to kill. For greater killing power, they used dumdum and expanding bullets. The Boer soldier only needed to hide his rifle to become a farmer again. Many were the times when British soldiers searching farms for weapons were shot in the back by a farmer who had reached for his hidden rifle. And many were the times they were fired on from under a flag of truce. Oh, what drivel is contained in the below paragraph? This is not history! History is about perspective and truth.
