Scapegoats of the Empire is an autobiography by George Witton. Witton was a lieutenant in the Bushveldt Carbineers in the Boer War in South Africa during the early 20th century. Excerpt: "Life in camp at Beira was almost a repetition of Langwarrin, being principally occupied in attending to and exercising the horses. On my arrival in camp I was instructed by Captain Dallimore to act as squadron-quartermaster-sergeant; my duties were to see that rations and forage were drawn daily and all camp equipment kept in order. Occasionally I went out on the veldt when exercising the horses; there appeared to be plenty of game about, and whenever a small buck rose up close to us there would be a hue-and-cry after it. Sometimes we would succeed in running it down in the long grass."

A war without pity on the South African veldt George Witton was a member of the Bushveldt Carbineers-a mounted, highly mobile unit trained to hunt down its Boer counterparts of the Commandos during the Boer War at the turn of the 20th century. Theirs was no 'gentleman's war' which took account of for fair play and the rules of war-it was a 'kill or be killed' existence of ambushes, night attacks and summary executions in which neither side could claim non-participation. War became a personal business for Witton and his fellow Carbineers-Morant and Handcock-as brother officers were found murdered and brutalised and prisoners were caught bearing their personal effects. Matters came to a head with the infamous courts-marshal of some of the Bushveldt Carbineers and the execution of some and imprisonment of others in a scandal that rocked the British Empire and struck to the core of the relationship between the mother country and one of its most loyal colonies.

This is the true story of three Australian army officers and the events that led to a murder trial during Britain's Boer War in the 1880's. Its author, George Witton, was one of those officers serving with the Bushveldt Carbineers, an irregular counterinsurgency regiment set up to fight the Boer guerrilla units on their own level. Shortly before Witton joined his detachment of the Carbineers, its commander, Captain Hunt, was killed and his body apparently abused by the Boers. Lt. Harry "Breaker" Morant took over command. Bereaved over the death and mutilation of his senior officer and close friend, Morant decided to follow Hunt's earlier orders to execute prisoners, including some who took part in Hunt's death. However, Lord Kitchener, the commanding British general, had issued orders not to take Boer prisoners. Witton never knew Hunt, and barely knew Morant and Lt. Peter Handcock (also an officer with the Carbineers) when prisoner executions took place. Capt. Hunt allegedly ordered his men to shoot prisoners, saying the order came from as far up as Kitchener. But, the General's testimony was never admitted into evidence, and he was conveniently out of the country when the three men's verdicts were handed down. With quotes from pre-trial and court martial testimony, Witton sets forth his version of the facts in plain, unelaborated writing.
