Summary "Campaign Pictures of the War in South Africa (1899-1900)" by A. G. Hales is a collection of letters that serve as both a historical account and personal insights written during the late 19th century. As a special correspondent for the Daily News, Hales offers firsthand observations and commentary on the experiences of Australian troops and their interactions with the Boer forces during the South African War. This work paints a vivid and nuanced portrayal of the war, reflecting the challenges, valor, and camaraderie amongst soldiers. The opening of the work introduces the motivations and sentiments surrounding the Australian volunteers as they embark on their military campaign. It describes the Australians' dedication as they prepare for a march to the frontlines, facing harsh conditions and the anxiety of engaging the enemy. Detail-rich, the text captures their anticipation for battle interwoven with moments of admiration for the beauty of the South African landscape. Hales emphasizes the importance of their role within the broader context of the Empire, conveying pride in their national identity and illustrating the early encounters with both Boer soldiers and the realities of warfare.
