With the Naval Brigade in Natal (1899-1900‪)‬

This Journal, completed before leaving the front in October, 1900 does not assume to be more than a somewhat rough and unadorned record of my personal experiences during ten months of the South African. Having been asked by some of my friends to publish it, I am emboldened to do so in the hope that the Journal may be of interest to those who read it, as giving some idea of work done by a Naval Brigade when landed for service at a most critical time.
