Includes 22 maps and 18 illustrations Tens of thousands of men came from all round the Empire to aid the British war effort in the First World War; men from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India and South Africa fought and died on battlefields far away from their homes. Although these soldiers fought across many different countries for the Allied cause; each of the Nations is linked with a single battle or campaign in which their sacrifice stood out even in the horrific bloodshed of the First World War. For the South Africans it was the heroic, bloody struggle for Delville wood during the battle of the Somme; during which they held their ground under a furious counter assault by the Germans, the South African 1st Brigade suffered 80% casualties in that action alone. Basil Liddell Hart called this engagement “...the bloodiest battle hell of 1916.” However as the esteemed author and soldier, Colonel John Buchan points out in his introduction to this classic Official History, the South Africans fought with equal bravery and distinction wherever and whenever they took to the field. As he states his book “...is a tale to be proud of, for among the many brigades in that field the South African Infantry Brigade may be said, without boasting, to have had no superior and not many equals.” A fitting tribute to the many brave South African soldiers who fought and conquered during the First World War written by an acclaimed author.

Excerpt from The History of the South African Forces in France IN the autumn of 1916 I was asked by the Union Government to undertake the official History of the South African Forces in Europe. At the time I was serving in France, and had therefore an opportunity to see something of the Infantry Brigade. For various reasons I was unable to begin the work until after the signing of the Armistice: since which date I have had at my disposal all official papers, and have received the assistance of many South African officers. I desire to express my gratitude to major-general Sir H. T. Lukin, brigadier-general Dawson, brigadier-general Tanner, and the various battalion and battery comman ders for the help they have given me. I would especially thank Major H. P. Mills of the Third Regiment, but for whose unwearying co-operation the book could not have been written. My aim has been to tell as simply as possible the story of a great military achievement, to my mind one of the finest in the whole history of the campaigns; and, at the same time, to provide a detailed account of the operations of the infantry and the other services, which, I trust, may be of interest as a war.

This volume presents the history and memorabilia of the South African Special Forces Brigade in a factual and unbiased manner, with a particular focus on the personality of the Special Forces Operator. Beginning with the creation of a special forces group in the late I960's, the Hunter Group concept, and continuing through to the Border War of the 1970's and 1980's, this compilation will educate readers about the hardships faced by candidates eager to join this elite group, and will leave them with a sense of respect for the very select groups of people who make up the Special Forces brigade, one of the very first units in the SADF to integrate the different races in regiments. This book also illustrates the uniforms worn, equipment used, and insignia worn by these individuals, along with counterfeit collector's items that have begun to appear on the market. With many previously unpublished photographs and information retrieved from source military documents, this book will be a source of pride for those who served in the units, as well as those who served in the SA Defense Force and National/Defense Force.
