Travers and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "War's Brighter Side" by Julian Ralph is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the unique experience of creating a newspaper for the British Army during the Second Boer War, specifically focusing on the publication called "The Friend". Through a collection of correspondence, anecdotes, and creative contributions from soldiers and journalists, Ralph captures the spirit and social dynamics among the troops, as well as the challenges faced in a wartime environment. The opening of the narrative describes the challenging conditions faced by soldiers as they reached Bloemfontein, highlighting the logistics of war, including food shortages and the health impacts of contaminated water. Ralph introduces key figures involved in producing the newspaper, such as Lord Stanley, the censor who facilitated the project, and the fellow editors who contributed their writings. The text illustrates how their adventurous endeavor emerged from the desire to provide the soldiers with both entertainment and vital information during a period of military governance. As they navigate the difficulties of wartime publishing, a blend of humor and camaraderie emerges, setting the tone for the subsequent chapters on the unique insights of life in a military camp.
