The Kopje Garrison: A Story of the Boer War Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "The Kopje Garrison: A Story of the Boer War" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows two young British officers, Drew Lennox and Bob Dickenson, as they embark on a fishing trip amidst the backdrop of the Boer War in South Africa. Their seemingly mundane adventure quickly escalates into a tense confrontation with the enemy, revealing themes of camaraderie, bravery, and the harsh realities of wartime. At the start of the narrative, the two officers are depicted at the riverbank, humorously discussing their fishing prospects while armed with rifles, hinting at a lack of traditional fishing gear. Their light banter is interrupted as they unexpectedly encounter a group of Boers, forcing them to react swiftly to the impending threat.
