Table of Contents For TRMGS Volume Four

15 August 2000 The Weapons and Battles of the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) by Dylan Craig The Anglo-Boer War was in many respects a new kind of war. Technologically, it saw the first use of some of the generation of weapons that are still with us today and the last use of a relic of 14th century warfare - the cavalry lance. In the moral sense, the Anglo-Boer War, while not inventing such concepts, also saw the first large-scale use of concentration camps for non-combatants, and the most prolonged period of guerilla warfare against a "victorious" army by the elements of the "conquered" nation's military. The article focuses on examining why the war took the form it did, and how this form was shaped by the weapons and tactics with which it was fought.
