Travers, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) "A Yeoman's Letters" by P. T. Ross is a collection of letters written during the late 19th century. The volumes provide a vivid and often humorous account of Ross's experiences while serving in the Imperial Yeomanry during the Second Boer War. Through his letters, Ross offers insights into the daily life of a soldier, balancing the seriousness of war with light-hearted anecdotes and camaraderie among troops. The opening of the collection sets the scene as Ross introduces his narrative style with a combination of wit and keen observation. He shares his experiences of journeying from England to South Africa, outlining the early days of the campaign, the challenges faced by the Yeomanry, and his interactions with fellow soldiers. His letters detail everything from the amusing logistical nightmares of wartime rations to the stark realities of camp life and the impact of military engagements. This blend of humor, personal reflection, and historical detail provides readers with an engaging glimpse into both the levity and gravity of military life during a tumultuous period.
