Not in S.A.B. or Supplement. Hackett page 169. 'In preparing this book for the public I have not attempted to give a full account of the War in South Africa, but have merely endeavoured to outline the career of the First Canadian Contingent engaged in the campaign - with special reference to the volunteers of the Maritime Provinces. The material for the work has been taken from official reports, published correspondence, and to a large extent from private letters written by my brother on the field.' Author's preface. It seems the first edition sold out at once and this second impression followed immediately. Contains nominal rolls of the First and Second Canadian Contingents and a Casualty List.
