TOPIC:

I have recently acquired this 71 page report on the Rebellion which was commanded by Lt Col E H Dalgety, CMR.

I will be adding it to the Books section.

It may be a slow process as there are many tables in the report.

It has 13 sections: www.angloboerwar.com/books/257-dalgety-b...-schedule-of-reports

Thank you David - this will be a great resource for those of us privileged to have one or many of these medals with the Bechuanaland clasp

Agreed, Rory. It is certainly giving me a new appreciation of that clasp on the CGHGSM.

Three sections added this morning:

Telegrams received and despatched. 2.5 pages
