Summary "With the Naval Brigade in Natal, 1899-1900: Journal of Active Service" by Burne is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work presents a personal journal capturing experiences during the South African (Boer) War while serving with a Naval Brigade under General Sir Redvers Buller. The narrative likely focuses on the military operations and the daily life of naval personnel as they engage in key battles and campaign challenges, with particular attention to the relief of Ladysmith. The opening of the journal sets the stage for the author's experiences after being assigned to the Transport Service in Southampton and quickly transitioning to the front lines in South Africa. Lieutenant Burne shares detailed accounts of the preparations and logistics involved in deploying naval forces to support ground troops, providing insights into the camaraderie and determination of his fellow officers and men. As he recounts his journey and arrival at the Cape, readers are drawn into the anticipation of the upcoming military challenges that he and his comrades would soon face, alluding to the intense and often chaotic nature of warfare.
