| Summary | "South Africa and the Transvaal War, Vol. 6 (of 8)" by Louis Creswicke is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume details significant events and battles of the Second Boer War, particularly the occupation of Pretoria and the unfolding guerilla warfare into early 1901. The narrative serves to document the military campaign, including strategic movements, casualties, and operations undertaken by both British forces and the Boer resistance. At the start of the volume, Creswicke presents the immediate aftermath of the British occupation of Pretoria in June 1900, describing the initial optimism that quickly gives way to logistical challenges and ongoing conflicts. The opening focuses on the leadership of Lord Roberts and his tactics against Boer forces, as well as the unexpected resilience of Boer leaders like Christian de Wet, who regroup and continue to disrupt British communications. The text captures the complexities of military operations during this time, exploring themes of strategy, resilience, and the human experiences of soldiers caught in the struggles of the war, setting a vivid scene for the battles yet to come.
