Wow Mike,

So I will put you on the spot:
Your top three for reference (the one's you always go to)

O.M.G. Paul......

You have really put me in a spot now.....

I am not going to put them in any special order as it will depend on what I am looking for.....

Gordon's British Battles and Medals - I know it is not Gordon's anymore but I have always know it as that....

The Times History of the War in South Africa.....

Black and White Budget.....

With The Flag to Pretoria - All volumes......

The Canadians - Those Who Served in South Africa 1899-1902 (As I am mostly interested in Canadians)

and since I like to put badges with medals.....

Owen's - Military Badges and Insignia of South Africa.....

and

Boer War Memorabilia, The Collectors Guide by Oosthuizen.....

And Most Important......

THE ANGLO BOER WAR WEBSITE......

Paul,

I find it invaluable but that ebay price is pricey.

A few UK sellers have it around 20 pounds. See

Best wishes,

Justin
