| Summary | "A Woman’s Wanderings and Trials during the Anglo-Boer War" by Mrs. (General) De la Rey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This memoir recounts the personal experiences of the author as she navigates the trials and tribulations faced during the turbulent times of the Anglo-Boer War. The narrative centers on her life, the struggles of her family, and her resolve amidst the chaos of war, highlighting her husband’s military role and the impact on their children. The opening of the memoir introduces the reader to the author’s initial anxiety as her husband departs for war. She shares her poignant feelings of uncertainty while managing family life and interacting with fellow comrades in arms. As the narrative unfolds, it captures her overwhelming sorrow upon learning of her son’s death and her subsequent journeys as she attempts to keep her family safe while evading the advancing forces. With a clear sense of duty and resilience, she reflects on the shared struggles of women during the war, weaving moments of warmth and deep emotion against the backdrop of conflict and loss.
