My Reminiscences of the Anglo-Boer War
By General Ben J. Viljoen (1902)

Written during his imprisonment on St. Helena, this memoir presents General Ben Viljoen’s personal account of the Anglo-Boer War. Without access to his original diaries, Viljoen reconstructed events from memory, reflecting on military campaigns, political tensions, and the lived realities of command during the final years of the conflict.

The narrative covers major engagements and movements across the eastern Transvaal, offering insight into leadership decisions, battlefield conditions, and the shifting nature of warfare during the guerrilla phase of the war.

Although Kaapsehoop is not directly referenced, the broader eastern Transvaal landscape forms part of the historical setting described in the book.
