Field Gun Jack Versus The Boers.The Royal Navy in South Africa 1899-1900(Signed)
Bridgland, Tony
Description:
The conventional image conjured up by the name Boer War is likely to be a straggling line of scruffy-looking men trying to persuade some recalcitrant oxen to pull a gun across a muddy stream with steep banks in the middle of a desolate looking wilderness with a few stunted trees,and indeed this is just as it was,so it will come as a surprise to many to learn that the Royal Navy actually palyed a vital role in this exclusively land-based war.Unclipped dustcover-Maps to endpapers-Foreward and 243 pages text with illustrations.SIGNED COPY, Very clean-FINE. 'As we will be away in America until 9th December,we will only start processing orders from 10th December.Thank you for your bids'.
