L _, ! • • 1 Introduction • It ia almost one hundred years since the outbreak of the South African War of 1899-1902. Over seven thousand Canadians from across the country volunteered to serve in that conflict. As Canada's first overseas military campaign, the war occupied a central place in Canadian life up to 1914. The war, as one historian has noted, affected politics, trade, transportation, industry, fashion, literature and music. 1 Several books, personal memoirs and journal and magazine articles were written about Canada's raIe in the imperial conflict. Not Surprisingly, these writings included two history books that outlined Canada's participation: T.G. Marquis's Canada's Sons Qn Kopje and Veldt (1900) and W. Sanford Evans' s .IM Canadian Contingents and Canadian Imperialism (1901). Despite the initial interest that surrounded the war, Canadian historians have largely overlooked their country' s military participation in South Africa. In his 1937 "Survey of the Literature on Canada's Participation in the South African • War", W.B. Kerr acknowledged that "there is no official history and no satisfactory general account for the public".z There are several reasons for this neglect. First, during the interwar period Canadian historians turned their attention away from the imperial connection and imperial affairs and focused on the "North Americanness" of Canada.' Second, liberal nationalist historians, who were interested in charting Canada's evolution from colony to nation, interpreted the Boer War as a setback for Canadian autonomy and unity. They saw it as a shameful, divisive event forced on Canada by imperial conspirators.' Such a perspective was not likely to inspire an interest in Canada's mi1i tary contrihution to the wa r • Third, Canadian historians began to emphasize economic interpretations of history and downplayed the importance of military events.' Moreover, the moral revulsion against the carnage of the First Wor Id War produced a spirit of anti militarism that decreased the popularity of military history in general.' • The 1945-75 period brought little improvement for those 2 interested in Canada's military contribution to the Boer war. In • the late 1940s and 1950s Canadian historians emphasized political history, especially political biography.7 In the 19609 and 19708 they shifted their focus to social history and concentrated on such issues as regionalism, class, gender and ethnicity. Although military history became more popular in the post 1945 period, thanks largely to the Historical Section ­ later Directorate of History - at the Department of National Defence, no Canadian military historian focused on the South African War. Desmond Morton's biography of General Sir William Otter (1974) provided a partial remedy to the scarcity of literature on the subject. As Commanding Officer of the first Canadian contingent in South Africa, Otter's biography offered valuable insight into Canada's military experience.' As late as 1977, however, J.L. Granatstein and P. Stevens reiterated that "there is no modern military history of the Boer War and the Canadian role in it".' Only in the last twenty years have Canadian historians • started ta address this gap in the historiography. Carman Miller's research, beginning with his 1975 socio-economic analysis of the Boer war contingents and culminating in his 1993 book Painting the Map Red, haB assimilated a massive amount of documentation and has inspired others, including myself, to pursue this subject. lI Miller's work, while very thorough, has by no means exhausted the subject of Canadian military participation in South Africa. Rather, it offers an excellent starting point for further investigation, debate and even more detailed analysis. One of the casualties of the prolonged lack of interest in Canada's South African War experience has been the Royal Canadian Artillery. Most of the early writing and later research that has been done focuses on the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry and the various Canadian mounted units. 1l In 1996, the 125th anniversary year of the R.C.A., there is still no detailed study dedicated exclusively to the participation of Canada' s • gunners in the Boer War. This is aIl the more surprising aince 3 the artillery was widely considered at the time ta be the best • trained and most efficient arm of the Canadian military. The purpose of this thesis is ta describe and assess the contributions and experiences of 0 Battery, Royal Canadian Field Artillery, in the South African War. It will examine why the gunners volunteered, how they lived and fought, how they got along with each other and with their imperial counterparts, what they achieved and whether or not their experiences lived up ta their expectations. It shall be argued that while they shared similar experiences, the gunners, like aIl individuals, reacteè.

  • History 1886
    How many bones must you bury before you can call yourself an African? Updated December 2009 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part D: 1886 - 1909 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

  • The Psychological Impact of Guerrilla Warfare on the Boer Forces During the Anglo-Boer War
    University of Pretoria etd - McLeod AJ (2004) THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF GUERRILLA WARFARE ON THE BOER FORCES DURING THE ANGLO-BOER WAR by ANDREW JOHN MCLEOD Submitted as partial requirement for the degree DOCTOR PHILOSOPHIAE (HISTORY) in the Faculty of Human Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria 2004 Supervisor : Prof. F. Pretorius Co-supervisor : Prof. J.B. Schoeman University of Pretoria etd - McLeod AJ (2004) Abstract of: “The psychological impact of guerrilla warfare on the Boer forces during the Anglo- Boer War” The thesis is based on a multi disciplinary study involving both particulars regarding military history and certain psychological theories. In order to be able to discuss the psychological experiences of Boers during the guerrilla phase of the Anglo-Boer War, the first chapters of the thesis strive to provide the required background. Firstly an overview of the initial conventional phase of the war is furnished, followed by a discussion of certain psychological issues relevant to stress and methods of coping with stress. Subsequently, guerrilla warfare as a global concern is examined. A number of important events during the transitional stage, in other words, the period between conventional warfare and total guerrilla warfare, are considered followed by the regional details concerning the Boers’ plans for guerrilla warfare. These details include the ecological features, the socio-economic issues of that time and military information about the regions illustrating the dissimilarity and variety involved. In the chapters that follow the focus is concentrated on the psychological impact of the guerrilla war on the Boers. The wide range of stressors (factors inducing stress) are arranged according to certain topics: stress caused by military situations; stress caused by the loss of infrastructure in the republics; stress caused by environmental factors; stress arising from daily hardships; stress caused by anguish and finally stressors prompted by an individuals disposition.

    Music and Militarisation during the period of the South African Border War (1966-1989): Perspectives from Paratus Martha Susanna de Jongh Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Professor Stephanus Muller Co-supervisor: Professor Ian van der Waag December 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 29 July 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In the absence of literature of the kind, this study addresses the role of music in militarising South African society during the time of the South African Border War (1966-1989). The War on the border between Namibia and Angola took place against the backdrop of the Cold War, during which the apartheid South African government believed that it had to protect the last remnants of Western civilization on the African continent against the communist onslaught. Civilians were made aware of this perceived threat through various civilian and military channels, which included the media, education and the private business sector. The involvement of these civilian sectors in the military resulted in the increasing militarisation of South African society through the blurring of boundaries between the civilian and the military.

  • Rules of Play
    RULES OF PLAY OVERVIEW Redvers' Reverse is a solitaire boardgame portraying the Battle of Colenso, fought on the 15th of December 1899 during the Second Anglo-Boer War. 16,700 British troops attempted to cross the Tugela River, defended by 4,500 Boers, hidden in emplacements and on high ground, to try and relieve the siege of Ladysmith. The game puts the player in the same position as the British commander Redvers Buller, with the same constraints of time, poor knowledge of Boer deployment, unknown locations of drifts and the added problem of subordinates not acting as instructed. An introductory scenario based on the historical situation is presented. Additional scenarios may be created allowing the player to set unique situations for each game.

VILJOEN (Late assistant commandant - general of the transvaal burgher forces and member for JOHANNESBURG IN THE TRANSVAAL VOLKSRAAD) POPULAR EDITION BECKTOLD PRINTING & BOOK MFG. CO., ST. LOUIS, MO., U. S. A. — (D Two Copies Kccaiveci JAN 20 1905 (; OOPY Bv COPYRIGHTED 1905 —BY Ben J. ViLjoEN To M. T. STBYN, Late President of the Orange Free State Republic, The "Hero of the Boer War" This Work is Respectfully Dedicated. — THE AUTHOR TO THE READER. In offering my readers my reminiscences of the late "War, I feel that it is necessary to ask their indulgence and to plead extenuating circumstances for many obvious shortcomings. It should be pointed out that the preparation of this work was attended with many difficulties and disabilities, of which the following were only a few: (1) This is my first attempt at writing a book, and as a simple Afrikander I lay no claim to any literary ability. (2) When captured by the British forces I was deprived of all my notes, and have been compelled to consult and depend largely upon my memory for my facts and data. I would wish to add, however, that the notes and minutiae they took from me referred only to events and incidents covering six months of the War. Twice before my capture, various diaries I had com- piled fell into British hands; and on a third occasion, when our camp at Dalmanutha was burned out by a "grassfire," other notes were destroyed.
