E-text prepared by Jonathan Ingram, Martin Pettit, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Two Years on Trek: Being Some Account of the Royal Sussex Regiment in South Africa" by the late Lt.-Colonel du Moulin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work recounts the experiences of the Royal Sussex Regiment during the Second Boer War, focusing on various military campaigns and personal anecdotes that illustrate the challenges and camaraderie faced by the soldiers. As a narrative of military events, it provides a detailed account of the regiment's journey, battles, and interactions with the environment and civilian population. The opening of the book introduces the context of the Royal Sussex Regiment as they prepare for active service in South Africa after a period of anticipation in Malta. The readers are drawn into the pre-deployment mood, where the regiment feels a mix of eagerness and frustration as they watch other units leave for combat while they remain in limbo. Discussions about the travel conditions, camaraderie among soldiers, and the eventual orders that lead them to embark for war set the stage for a narrative filled with adventure and reflection on military life. Throughout the early chapters, the regiment's personality is established through their shared experiences and the anecdotes of Lt.-Colonel du Moulin, creating a vivid portrait of life in the field for soldiers during this significant historical period.
