Summary "The Second Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers in the South African War" by Majors C. F. Romer & A. E. Mainwaring is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work details the experiences of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers during the South African War, especially focusing on their operations in various battles and campaigns throughout the conflict. It aims to provide a soldier’s narrative that highlights the regiment's efforts in significant engagements, the challenges faced, and the camaraderie among the troops. The opening of the text provides a thorough background on the 2nd Battalion's history, detailing its origins dating back to the 17th century and outlining its movements leading up to the South African War. It describes the battalion's preparations and initial deployments prior to the outbreak of hostilities with Boer forces. Through the account, readers learn about the regiment's readiness to engage in combat after years of garrison duty and their subsequent experiences as tensions escalated, culminating in the anticipation of the upcoming battles. As the narrative unfolds, it delves into the emotional and psychological landscape of the soldiers awaiting action, setting the stage for the detailed combat accounts that will follow in subsequent chapters.
