Summary: "With Rimington" by L. March Phillipps is a collection of letters written during the late 19th century. The letters recount the author's experiences as a captain in Rimington's Guides during the Second Boer War, focusing on the daily life and battles faced by British troops in South Africa. The narrative is likely steeped in personal reflections and observations about military comradeship, the nature of warfare, and the cultural differences in British and Colonial soldiers. The opening of the book sets the stage for the author's military experiences, beginning with a vivid description of the Orange River Camp. Here, the author paints a picture of the landscape, soldiers preparing for war, and his reflections on the character of the Colonial soldiers he admires. He introduces the atmosphere of anticipation before significant battles, highlighting the ruggedness and resolve of the men in his company, the context of their mission, and his observations about the terrain they are battling over. This portion effectively establishes both the physical and emotional landscape that will define the forthcoming challenges and encounters throughout the campaign.
