The Staff Work of the Anglo-Boer War (1899–1901)
By Lady Elizabeth Charlotte Briggs

Unlike most Boer War accounts focused on battlefield heroism, this rare 1901 volume highlights the unglamorous but essential administrative side of the conflict. Lady Briggs, a nurse and war correspondent for the Morning Post, takes readers deep into the military’s logistical machine.

Covering field hospitals, transport units, medical conditions, remount and ordnance departments, prisoner camps, railway services, and the post office — this work reveals the tireless efforts of military staff officers, support volunteers, and civilians across the empire.
