Good-bye Dolly Gray

About this book

Goodbye Dolly Gray was the anthem of the South African War - a song that for a generation of British soldiers evoked memories of the Relief of Mafeking, the Battle of Spion Kop and the march on Pretoria. The Boer War marked the beginning of the end of colonialism and the beginning of a century of bloody warfare. South Africa saw the first major use of machine guns, long-range military artillery, barbed wire and concentration camps.
